httrack seems a good choice, but I want to chime in with a different solution.

Have a look at plucker (sudo apt-get install plucker plucker-desktop).

This pulls a webpage with a predefined level of recursion, and
including images or not, and dump it in a single file. This greatly
reduces clutter on your harddrive, and makes it much more portable.
You would then use FBreader (http://only.mawhrin.net/fbreader/), to
read the page. Hyperlinks etc are retained and remain functional.

Plucker can be run with a gui, or noninteractively from the command line.

You could even transfer the .pdb to your palm and read it there.
