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 use Readeck for 'read it later' type documents or articles, and Karakeep for data preservation. The only downside that I can think of with Readeck is that there is no real 'one click export' of the database housing all your articles. However, you can download the entire folder containing the database and all the zip files and transport them to a new server or make it a backup. Other than that, Readeck checks my boxes. It has an iOS app and an extension for Firefox....not sure about chrome as I avoid it like the plague.
