Can I use this charger?
I have an old original Moto X Pure Edition charger that, it just crossed my mind, I could use to charge my 1st gen Libra H2O. So far I've been connecting it to my PC in order to charge it.
It uses some turbo charging technology (unclear which, probably a licensing thing?), which gives me pause. Can this, somehow, damage the device or the battery? shorten its expected life span?

It does 9V and 12V. It's for a specific device. I'd not risk it because all ereaders are 5V only. The 9V or 12V will destroy at least the USB port circuit at once. A charger is a cheap thing and an ereader isn't.

I suggest a 100 watt GaN PD charger with at least 2 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A ports. That's what I have.

Good for you, but not necesarily a fit for everybody's needs. From the original question I'm pretty sure OP would not have much need for that kind of charger. I might though...
