Thanks to someone on XDA, here's a gem of a workaround. When I initially followed the instructions I had no success.

The instructions provided here work to a tee. My device was on version 1.0.0, so I didn't have that mobile user agent option in the browser. I guess it became available in the 1.0.1 update. Anyway, I updated to 1.0.1 and 1.1.0. I have the mobile user agent in the browser and it works!!! I could have just browsed the Amazon site on another browser in desktop mode, but this is an enjoyable experience just for Kindle content and you can buy or sample content!
