Firstly, NO, I didn't not drop my reader.

My brother was using it on the couch, testing out a PDF becuase he was thinking about getting one, when all of a sudden these weird evenly spaced lines appeared on the screen.

I am freaking out, but I am not sure if it is a hardware issue? When in normal orrientation, the lines appear vertical. When in horozontal orrentation, they also appear vertical if you were viewing the reader horizontally. If that make sense?

It just seems very weird?! Is my unit broken, I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can find my camera. Has anyone else experianced this?

Also, when changing a page, during part of the flash, the lines disappear for a moment, and you can see the screen normally, but in the same amount of time, they are back.
