Well, looking into the source code spit by Amazon's front page, it looks like they don't care about that very much. Still, shit's probably generated.

Google needs their pages to use the least amount of bandwidth possible. As for Amazon, it's probably just Dreamweaver shit.

Google puts their code through a compressor that renames variables to their smallest possible size, removes unnecessary whitespace and so on, in order to compress the document without using any special protocols.
Amazon probably generates their page, and the embedding of everything into the same document reduces latency because of fewer HTTP requests. And if there's one thing you can say about HTTP, it's that it's godawfully slow.
