Update: Want your own version of a shortcuts page? Use my template file.
The website Kinstant.com is designed to serve as a pre-configured home page for your Kindle browser–just visit kinstant.com on your Kindle for a list of links to some of the most popular blogs and email services on the Internet.
It’s easy enough to set up something like this for yourself if you know basic html, but this is a quick and worry-free solution if you don’t.
Kinstant also has a couple of special features that make it a little more interesting than just a hosted page of links: there’s a one-click “egg timer” feature that starts a timer at 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes; and a basic calculator for those math problems that are a little too long to work out in your head.

@Brett, Not that I know of. Today I posted a template file that you can use to create a homemade version of Kinstant that sits in your Documents folder. It might be faster to access sites like Kinstant that way (versus drilling down to the Bookmarks menu):
