Please help!

Last night I went to load a new book onto my ereader prs 300 and the computer wouldn't recognize my reader and wouldn't sync (although the reader showed that it was connected), although I plugged it in while booting up the computer. I unplugged and tried to reboot the computer again, but the reader wouldn't connect, and this time did not even display that it recognized the connection.

When i unplugged the reader, i tried to turn it on. IT flashed "opening book" and then promtly died, it did this a few times, so i tried plugging it into the wall since the computer wouldn't recognize this. I used the iphone wall adapter, becuase i assumed it was pretty much a unviersal wall charger with a usb port. The light turned red, so i assumed that my battery had simply died. I left it charging all night long. This morning My reader wouldn't even turn on. It will not charge on the wall, or the computer, nothing. I've tried hitting the reset button, but again, the reader won't turn on.

I am not certain what to do now. Any suggestions?
