Ask HN: Whats convenient way save webpages with links for offline reading?

For instance, it is impossible to read a Wikipedia article on complex issue because one needs to follow a link which is not saved in PDF. I need all links to be pre-downloaded for offline reading.

I like to wget, because you can easily automate and customize it. Here's the man page: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html

I use Pocket, Instapaper may work aswell.

Use HTTrack, this tool can grab a webpage and the links in that page.

This is what I do. I have the Pages App on my iPad. I copy and paste anything into it that I want to continue to read, reference or check it out later on. I only use this app for this purpose. I also created a reading list on Quora too, but I've only just started using this feature. If there is a specific app for this, let me know, I'd use it.

On an iPad, you can tap-hold on a link and Add to Reading List. That might be easier. It does do JS though, whereas Pages presumably doesn't.

Your awesome, cheers for the tip. I've only had my iPad for a couple of months so I don't know many iPad tricks yet.
