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.
