Nice literature covers in this device (6)

I believe the answer is:

kindle

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

'this device' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'nice literature covers' is the wordplay.
'nice' becomes 'kind' (I've seen this in another clue).
'covers' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'covering' mean this (the letters which cover the word are used)).
'literature' with its middle taken out is 'le'.
'kind'+'le'='KINDLE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kindle that I've seen before include "Ignite" , "Linked (anag)" , "Light (flame), arouse" , "reading facilitated by this?" , "collection of books?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
