Don't give up yet. Others have had the problem of a Reader not showing up "as a usb connection" and the Reader still works.
Sometimes it really does take a full wall charge (and maybe a drain and full charge again) to get it going (again, this is from what I have seen in other problem posts).
I've seen many posts from owners who use a PSP charger (much cheaper than buying the charger sold for the Sony Reader). This option is cheap enough to at least give it a try.
Maybe the battery did short out, but you never know. You can at least try to see if you can turn it on while it is hooked up to a main wall charger.
