Right now I just use the "getpocket" service, which was preinstalled on both my kobo and firefox and also has a chrome extension. I assume that they have some clever algorithms for this.
On a kindle I used the "send to kindle" extension which functions the same way. Before I realized what that pocket thing is I also just saved the raw html from web pages with ctrl-s in opera and used scp to copy it to the reader automatically whenever the wifi would get turned on. I also sometimes would scrape all open URLs from the opera session file and wget them onto the e-reader when I had opened too many urls in the background. These days I don't really need this feature any more. I am sticking to the other services cause they do a good job of removing unnecessary stuff before the article (sometimes had to advance 10 pages manually in the reader until the article started, and moving 10 pages fast is a pain on an e-reader obviously). I don't know how much magic is involved in their parsing but I can already tell it's not perfect either. So I would approve of some open source solution that provides the same or better user experience. I always wanted to build something like this, but then it was already there before I could finish designing an experience in my head.
