I'm not sure if you've had a bad experience, but I watch Amazon videos on my Verizon 3G hotspot all the time?
If you are concerned with bandwidth, go with NetFlix, as unlike Amazon they let you manually set your quality (bandwidth). Neither Netflix or Amazon "take as much bandwidth as they can get to get you a good picture" They take what they need and adjust if necessary based on what bandwidth you have available.
In addition to my experience at home, doing the math on the 300MB/hr lowest setting for Netflix (assuming that you have a device where you can choose the setting, must won't), that works out to 0.7Mb/s. 3G is defined as greater than 0.2Mb/s, though individual carriers could do better than that and still market it as 3G.
