YOU COULD SAVE THE WEB PAGE IN A WEB ARCHIVE OR HTML FILE.

i should say that i want to actually download lots of threads, enough for 1hr of GH (or otherwebsite) browsing. unless there's a book someone could recommend but i haven't read a book in over 15 years (i'm not uneducated, i just don't like reading novels) i still have one working kindle after the wife decimated the other one (it was free at least).

any suggestions still?

Maybe try the Scrapbook extension for Firefox?
