Is your ereader backlit, and, if so, does the screen light up when the reader is plugged into the computer?
My Chinese ereader had a similar problem, although this was after I had had it for some time. The battery had gone completely flat, and although I left it plugged into the USB port all day, it still wouldn't turn on. Fortunately I have a wall charger, so I tried plugging it into that. While it is attached to the wall charger it is still possible to use the reader and to change settings, so I was able to adjust the light setting from "always on" to 30 seconds - after that, the light went off, and the ereader charged perfectly.
Since then I have been careful never to let the battery go flat, and I always try to remember to change the light setting before I charge the reader.
