I also plan to read longer books.

If you mainly want to read the text of articles and you're not bothered about the pictures or formatting, what I do is just copy and paste the text of the article into Notepad, or the equivalent Apple txt software. This can then be loaded onto the ereader via usb (where you put it in the ereader drive varies between ereader types, I'm not sure about the Nook.)
All ereaders that I'm aware of read txt.
If you want to keep the pictures and formatting: maybe copy everything, including pictures, into Word and choose "keep formatting as original". Save this, then see if Calibre can convert the doc, docx, or rtf into epub.
Personally, if I want to save an entire article, including layout, I'll do a screen clip and save it into OneNote and read it on my laptop rather than my ereader. But to read just the text on my kindle, I use Notepad.
