So I've had my new PW2 since Oct. 1st and I love it. But today I turned it on and there was an odd scratch/crack in the screen. The Kindle still works so I don't think the actual eInk screen was damaged, and the touch screen still feels smooth... so somehow a layer in the middle seems to have split or something. Thankfully Amazon is sending me a new one.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? What could have caused a layer in the middle to suddenly crack?
