Joliprint is an online service that will make a nicely-formatted PDF version of any article on the web, ready for printing or transferring to an e-reader. The site also provides a bookmarklet, which is handy as it’s much easier to just hit a button rather than having to go to the site and paste in the URL of the article you want made into a PDF.
The really cool thing about the bookmarklet, though, is that it can work with Google Reader. Simply select an item in Google Reader, hit the bookmarklet button and a nicely-formatted PDF of that post will be saved to your machine.
It works really well; articles are laid out in a very readable and attractive multi-page, two-column format; all the article’s images are retained. If you’ve ever wished you could print to PDF from Google Reader, it’s worth installing in your browser’s bookmarks toolbar.
(Note: for some reason, the bookmarklet doesn’t appear to work for me using Google Reader in Chrome; Firefox works fine.)
