Quick-and-dirty hide of everything I don't need to see when looking for information on a book (does not do nearly as much on non-book pages).
I also hid the editorial reviews just so the basic book info (pub date, ISBN, #pages) makes it above the fold. Unfortunately, I can only hide stuff, not re-arrange.
There's more worthless stuff further down the page I didn't bother to hide - I just wanted to get the good stuff to the top.
If Amazon is still too slow for you, try Amazon Mobile and Amazon Anywhere:

I absolutely love this! The Amazon info pages are so cluttered and a complete mess. This style makes the page all the more tolerable. I love how you provide the important book info right up top. =) Very helpful. I just wish the Customer Reviews were right below that; thats the main reason I go to Amazon, really, is for the reviews. Book info and reviews and nothing else on the info page; that'd be the best. Skip all the 'first sentence', 'citings', 'key phrases', 'tags', and '% buy such and such...' crap. I ramble, but anyway, I love this style.
