Looking for a software suggestion (lemmy.eco.br)

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 using Wallabag for a few years now and really like it. (It's the one thing I'm not selfhosting, though -- I've been using their hosted service. But it should run on a raspberry pi with no problems.)

You can also export to epub, but you have to do that manually. OP, does your ereader run android? There are wallabag apps available, which are nice because they usually work offline after downloading articles from your wallabag server.

It's a tolino vision 2. Technically, it runs android 4 under the hood, but I would need to tinker with it via adb to run something else, and the small storage space available makes this not so appealing. I'd prefer to leave the complexity to the server and do the reading inside the browser in the ereader.

Gotcha. The web UI in wallabag is nice and works pretty well with ereaders. It's already black-and-white, although it doesn't have pagination, so you'll have to scroll.
