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 am once again called to praise orgzly.

The idea is simple, it keeps all your info in plain text files on device. It allows tags for whatever you need, recipes, articles, books to read, whatever you like.

Keeping it in sync with a PC is possible in several ways, I use syncthing.

It is for sure not the easiest solution, but it's all open source, all plain text and gets the work done.

P.S. on PC I use logseq to edit my org files, but there are other options.

P.S.2 I read the question again and I had missed the part with the e-reader. I doubt my approach will help there, but I will leave the comment in case it is helpful to someone.
