I didn't know that there are a few chargers out there that do work.
I have tried many chargers that worked fine with almost all usb devices. Those device were able to detect the difference between a data connection and charging connection but not my Kobos.

Maybe, Kobo should also include a proper wall charger, then? As Kobo devices seem quite picky. It would cost them less or no more than a dollar to do so.
Or cheaper option might be to fix the 'detection routine' in the firmware. Replace it with a better one.
