Save website info to PDFs with CutePdf

Print webpage info to PDFs with the CutePdf utility, which is free.   you can then email these to [you]@kindle.com (direct to your Kindle).  [As of May 4, Amazon charges 15c per megabyte, rounded up, for a file-send.]  You can instead email items to [you]@free.kindle.com - which remains officially free - and then usb-cable the converted files to your Kindle.

While I take notes for myself about interesting utilities, I hadn't tried this one until tonight.  Interested in website info about a destination, I printed the pages to CutePdf and it made a pdf out of that - text and maps together.  And it's very readable on my Kindle (both Kindles can enlarge map images now).
Highly recommended.

That would work best with less complex ad-light pages.
  For more complex pages, you can highlight text you want, Copy it, open up Microsoft Word and Paste what you copied and then save the file.  The Word Doc file can then be sent to [you]@kindle.com etc. That's just one of many ways to do it.
