My PRS-500 is doing exactly the same thing in the lower left corner. I've alway had it in the leather cover, in my handbag, right near a fragile camera and iPod touch. No shocks in my recent memory, no damage to the other instruments.
And to make matters worse, I HAD an extended warranty that I unwittingly "blew" last Spring to try to improve the battery life, to no avail, then found out they only do one service, bascially, and then you're high and dry.
Then, just outside the paltry 90-day refurb warranty period, the glass layer fractured, mysteriously, with no apparent cause. Crummy refurb. My original screen was flawless at 1+ years, then this one fails at 4 months. You be the judge.
Now I've still got a 2-week battery life AND a broken screen. And no more warranty.

(See photo below -- note lines extending all the way across the bottom, and there are also some faint lines extending up the left side that aren't evident in the picture but are getting progressively worse. Can't even read the battery meter any more.)
