I have some software on my PC that lets me create PDF images of websites I'm viewing, so I have used this to create PDFs and then downloaded them to my Kindle. That works great.
Thanks for the browsing info, it gives me a feel for the speed.

Another alternative for web capture is Instapaper, described in this thread.

They offer scheduled delivery ($0.15 Amazon charge), or manual downloads ready to be loaded into the Kindle via USB.

It installs a browser plug-in you click, "Read Later." It's instant, then later you go to their site to read or download the articles, or you just use the scheduled delivery service to get a batch at a time.
