Amazon's Homepage is one of the slowest of those I've landed on. Hence, I use the Amazon plugin for the Tablet's Internet Search Desktop Applet, and thereby skip the homepage. Ditto for eBay and Wikipedia. Once you're past their homepages, things aren't as slow-loading.

And a compromise I often use, that gives much better content than a page stripped down for the iPhone, but loads faster than if it were au naturelle, is to pop the URL into skweezer.com. Using skweezer with the page-down tweak on the hardware button gets you places pretty fast.
