    Hello. I'm looking for a software to save web pages from my computer and phone and read them later in my ereader device that has wifi connection and a rudimentary browser. Ideally, the software would turn the web pages into some sort of reader view mode to make them more fluid for the ereader, but that's not necessary. I want something as simple as possible that I can host locally on a raspberry pi-like device. I don't need long term archival or fancy features. Do you have any recommendations? I believe you're the best people to know a nice tool for that job.

    Edit: Thank you, everyone! I got a bit overwhelmed here, but I will check everything in my time.

      I would recommend Wallabag or Readeck.
      You can use Koreader on your ereader for reading article saved with Wallabag.

        Have you tried koreader? I have an old Kobo on which I actually used pocket, but I'm reluctant to try koreader again because I tried it a few years back and it was not a pleasant experience.

        I'm hoping it's better now...

          I've been meaning to install ArchiveBox for something like this, though I'm not sure offhand if it'll also save ereader-friendly versions.

            Yes I use it and it works ok for me. Maybe Kobo will consider official support for Wallabag now that Pocket is discontinued.

              Linkding is a bookmark aggregator that can save pages for offline viewing including a simplified reader view.

                I see hints that they may replace it with Readwise.

                  I really wanted to like Wallabag. What held me back was the high percentage of pages it failed to scrape. So this is one area where I decided not to self-host.

                    I understand it can be annoying but when it does I temporarily host a text version of the article on my website and save it from there

                      ArchiveBox strikes me as being a rickety pile of hacks, but it does mostly do its job out of the box. The built-in search is abysmal however and must be replaced with one of the other options to be useful.
