Ahhh.... I don't think so...

There is no "electro" in a regular ferrous magnet. There is a magnetic field but it is not produced by an electric current. Unless you have a power outlet in your purse.

EMI describes rapidly changing electrical current causing magnetic lines of flux to rapidly change. There is no such thing in a regular ferrous magnet.

A strong ferrous magnet can affect hard drives and floppy disks due to re-arranging the polarity of the disk surface. But should have no effect on a kindle or cell phone.
