Sorry for the bad news, but it looks like you have a broken substrate - your screen is broken and it can't be fixed.

The screen will have to be replaced (if under warranty), or you will need to buy a new Reader.

Did you drop your Reader?

You DID invest in a protective case, didn't you?

I didnt drop it and it does have a case. It was a gift so I dont have any documentation. Thanks for the help. I will read from the computer because I cant afford a new device.
Thanks again.

It doesn't have to be dropped - a twisting or bending force can break it. The screen substrate is very thin glass.
