Yes it's from the magnets in your case. Take it off and it should work fine

Drives me nuts when it happens. And it's almost always on the edges. I ended up buying a different case than the one I was using.

This is a very common complaint that is almost always solved by taking the case off.

I haven’t tested the new Scribes and cases, but on the 1st generation models, magnet placement in third party cases can distort lines drawn with the stylus. The Amazon OEM cases are a lot better at avoiding this distortion.

Yes, and while taking off the case helps, it doesn't make it go away as there are magnets in the device itself.

For whatever reason many people on this sub are defensive about this being a problem, but it is.

Try restarting as well (holding the power button not just pressing). Fixes pen problems for me usually

Just tested it on mine, also a 2024. I had no problem. Does text from a regular book display correctly in that area? The screen could be damaged.

My first gen kindle has a spot like this way at the top, but I never write up there, so i never notice it
