It's for this reason I never completely "power off" my old ereaders to avoid getting a dead battery. Maybe it makes no difference in battery life to avoid powering off but it serves as a reminder for me to periodically check the charge of my old ereaders.
As far as charging a dead kindle I'm sure the usual suggestions such as trying different USB charging cords and plugging into different ports in the computer or different computers have been tried. Additionally, check for debris in the usb port in your kindle which may not allow for charging.
As far as getting the files from the dead device of course all amazon content is in the cloud. Any other content on your kindle I'm assuming you transferred mostly from your computer (unless you've downloaded stuff from the experimental web on your kindle) so you can access it there.
