You can use almost any USB charger with a microB connector to charge your Kobo as long as it has a minimum 500mA output -- my headset charger as an example is rated at 135mA so can't be used. If the output current rating is higher than the Kobo's rated input, the charging circuit will just disregard the excess capability.

I would avoid no-name chargers. I've checked the output voltages on several that were either too low ~4V or too high >6V.
