When I want to preserve online content, the first step is to take it offline by storing a local copy. Usually by using something like Reader Viewer and exporting it to PDF. That sometimes doesn't look as good as the website, but content is more important. The directory is indexed by `recoil`, so I can later access this and similar content. |

This does, of course, strip all site styling. Images / artwork may be preserved, depending on how they are presented in the original HTML. (If using <img> tags, yes, if served through JS ... not so much.)
What's genius, though, is that multiple articles can be saved to a single document, which can be appended over time.
I use this to group items by similar topic, project, or interest, or to create a "BOTI" archive, where "BOTI" stands for "best of the interval". The idea here is to select the best items over a given period of time (week, month, year, etc., though I seem to be settling on six to twelve months), and organise those in a single place. You've Still Got to Read It[tm], but at least you've organised the material.
Reading this on an e-book reader, using the bookreader software, is also virtually always preferable to reading the same content online in a Web browser.
