It does and even allows animations within a book! They call it Kindle in Motion but I have no idea how to become a part of that.
Technologically there shouldn't be any limitations because ebooks support pretty much every reasonable web standard, though I know that Amazon limits scripting among other things.
I'm pretty sure Off To Be The Wizard is part of it. It shows the little Headphones next to the KU. Fun series.
>Martin Banks is just a normal guy who has made an abnormal discovery: he can manipulate reality, thanks to reality being nothing more than a computer program. With every use of this ability, though, Martin finds his little “tweaks” have not escaped notice. Rather than face prosecution, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard.

I think lucklookinglurker may have been referring to the Magic 2.0 series which begins with Off to Be the Wizard by Scott Meyer. I read the first book years ago and its about a guy that learns a way to manipulate reality and uses this technique to time-travel back to the middle ages to live so that he could be free to manipulate reality as he wished and the locals would accept it as wizardry.
Do I get the extra points? ;-)
Off to Be the Wizard (Magic 2.0 series) by Scott Meyer is a really quirky story where the MC discovers the world is really a computer program so he decides to go to the middle ages and portray his computer hacking as magic and be a wizard there. I highly recommend the audible version since the narrator Luke Daniels is hilarious with his voices. Not litRPG at all but is fairly geeky so some litRPG readers would like it.
I just got done reading Off to be the Wizard by Scott Meyer. I think you might enjoy it.
This book is about a guy who finds the source code for the world, gets into trouble and flees to the past to hide out and pretend to be a wizard. I/we were referencing that. Good book. Quite funny.
Some of them do, Amazon is now doing this 'kindle in motion' thing. Like this
Seconding Off to Be the Wizard (by Scott Meyer). Fantastic book, there's two out right now with a third on the way.
It's two bucks for the kindle version right now. I'm not affiliated with the author in any way, just seriously love the series and want to spread the love!
If you have Kindle Unlimited, Off to be the Wizard is available for free so you could start it before your credits are in your account.
Space Team The Collected Adventures is a fun sci fi series, one credit for the first three books.
Off to Be The Wizard by Scott Meyer is a great mix of modern fantasy, sci-fi, and humor.
So You Want to be A Wizard by Diane Duane scratched the itch for me between Harry Potter books and the series is great.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is modern-ish with some twists.
Finally, if you'll forgive the self-plug, I wrote a modern fantasy called The Wizards on Walnut Street.
I don't know if I'd recommend Game of Thrones for your first audiobook unless you're already familiar with the material. It can be hard to keep track of all the names and stuff when you're listening...
For a first foray into audio I'd recommend something lighter and shorter, and since you like fantasy I recommend Off to be the Wizard. You can get the audiobook and kindle eBook for $6 with the whispersync bundle ($3.99 for kindle, $1.99 for audio).
The narrator is amazing, the characters have recognizable names and voices, the story has some good humor, and if you decide that audiobooks aren't your thing you still have the kindle version to read.
Off to Be the Wizard is the best fit I can think of. Definitely has "magic as computing" stuff going on.
Are you opposed to superhero stuff? Worm by Wildbow has "sciency" super powers. Might be the type of thing you'd like.
Mother of Learning is a web serial with 19th century-style tech that has magic integrated with it (e.g. they've recently started running trains on mana instead of steam). There's a fair bit of magical technology, but technological development isn't the main focus of the story. It might be somewhat like what you're looking for, though.
My own books have people who treat magic as technology (for example, [extremely minor spoilers](#s "one of the protagonists uses enchanted mirrors as spy cameras and messaging systems").) Magic research is a significant part of the story, but I think the tech level might be too low for what you're looking for. It's probably closer to what you want than The Way of Kings was, but less so than Mother of Learning. First book is Forging Divinity. Maybe take a glance at the blurb or the sample and see if the style suits you.
