YES - a sure sign of SSC - Spontaneous Screen Combustion. Screens break all the time just sitting on a table unused for a few days. Happens to all of us.

Maybe not by the manufacturer or distributor ... but in the U.S., we have aftermarket warrantees. For ten bucks a year, my Kobo and Kindle 3 are both warranteed against accidental drops and spills - and even replacing the battery if need be - for three years.
