broken screen on a 1st gen Nook

[Penel]

I just got a used Nook 1st generation online, for only the shipping charge of $10.00.
The posting of it said that the screen had a small crack, that didn't interfere with reading.
Unfortunately, a quarter of the reading screen is blank!
I got this because I couldn't afford an e-reader, so can't afford much to fix it. Is there anywhere to find a screen, or would B&N help me to get a replacement screen only?
Thanks!

I think if the screen interferes with function, you're pretty much out of luck.

You might possibly be able to get a broken one on ebay and replace the screen. Look and see if you can find any info online about how to do this, first. I've seen it for Kindles.
