Preferably with offline tools? Such as Calibre. I'm lazy to create a Kindle account now just for this.

Here's the article: http://lifehacker.com/productivity-1...ali-1687948640

My usual tools are:

1. Calibre (this alone works 97% of the time)

2. If it does not work, the problem many times, such as this time is, the text is light gray, barely readable on the Kindle. If this is the case, then I copy-paste the text from the web to a LibreOffice text document, I adjust the text color to be black, import to Calibre and it's done.

Now in this case it's not working, as the article might be in some stupid frame, which looks funny (bad) copy pasted into LibreOffice.

What to do if I prefer to read it on the device, not on the computer's screen? There needs to be a way. Pls. note. I'm not a HTML expert.
