kindle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'arouse' is the first definition.
(I know that arouse can be written as kindle)

'interest in reading device' is the second definition.
'kindle' can be an answer for 'interest' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'in reading device' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kindle that I've seen before include "Linked (anag)" , "Inflame" , "Cause to begin burning" , "reading facilitated by this?" , "Start to burn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
