I don't have an answer, but I sympathize with the problem.  I find that the
better websites (e.g. New York Times, Washington Post) do read quite well
on my Galaxy Tab 2 (7 inch, vertical format).

Recently I discovered to my pleasure that
http://www.jsoftware.com/papersalso read quite well on my Tab.  For
example,
http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APL.htm .  That URL itself with the table
of contents frame on the left, isn't so great.  But most xxx.htm on the
website have a corresponding xxx1.htm or xxxa.htm frame, and those pages
(e.g. http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APL1.htm) read very well on the Tab.
 On the website, the width of the lines on each "paper" is controlled by

<table width=520 align=center><tr><td>
blah blah blah de blah
</td></tr></table>

Perhaps you can write a Javascript thing that accomplishes the same thing
for web pages that are not so written.
