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

Their site leaves a bit to be desired, but they do have PDF versions along with many others it will scrape in

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.
