iPod question

A few days ago, I noticed a small black line on the screen of my iPod.  It wasn't big so I ignored it - now, though, it runs from one side to the other and seems to be collecting friends.  Anyone know if that's fixable?

Curious...

Does anyone hate book jackets with as much hatred as I do?  I haaate them and most, if not all, book jackets get tossed the moment I get the book.  The damned things shift and fall off whenever I read the books in question so I end up getting frustrated and tossing them.

But then I find that the book underneath the cover is awesome - like my Joy of Cooking.  White cover and gold letting on the front and side.  Much nicer looking than if it had the book jacket.
