Put it on a wall charger and forget about it for at least 15 hours.

I had the same problem with a K3. If the battery is drained, it will not charge with the wifi/3G on -- the connection drains the battery as it charges. Finally, I got just enough charge that I was able to quickly turn off the wifi, then I charged it overnight, and it was fine. I've changed batteries in several K3s. I love this old workhorse reader!
