I realize that those of us who use Macs are in the minority, but there are several ways to do this on a Mac.
If you print a page, then click in the Print Dialog on Open pdf in Preview, you can save anything that can be printed as a pdf file. Unfortunately, you can’t clink on the links.
I also use Readability to save pages for later reading in a format that is more felicitous than that presented on the web. Links within the article are clickable, Readability is cross platform, and there is a very nice client for the iPad.
You can also use Devonthink or Evernote—both have bookmarklets that allow you to save the webpage, and the links are clickable. In both of these programs(as well as others such as Together and Eaglefiler)you can organize the pages later.
Finally, I have been using Notesuite, which is a note taking program for the Mac. There is a bookmarklet in Firefox that allows you to clip the page to Notesuite. One of the pluses of Notesuite is that if the page is a multi-page article the program will put all of the parts together. Notesuite is also available for iOS, so I have my clippings available on my iPad as well.
