Pocket may be convenient, but it's inflexible and a privacy issue. Better to copy & paste web pages into WP (Libre Office Writer is free), save as docx and convert with calibre. Admittedly a problem on a tablet.
Minor nit. Kepub is not quite a proprietary format--adding multiple spans to an epub document does not make it proprietary. For me, it's main use is selecting whether I use an epub2 renderer with Adobe DRM capability (RMSDK) or an epub3 renderer with Kobo's proprietary DRM capability.

Of course, I could "enjoy" trying to decipher a Japanese document with it's mix of glyphs plus furigana (any language that needs a way to specify pronunciation of some words is getting way too complex, IMNSHO) on a reading system that does not support the needed text direction and rendering capabilities.
