You could use Instapaper to do this I think. That will save the text and images for link when you save it.

I want to bookmark some web-pages but don't trust they will always be around. Are there tools which work like Google's page-caching technology, but let me specify which pages to keep? Maybe even Google provide this?

I know I could save offline or copy-paste but when persuing the web to find lots of useful pages, I really just want to copy-paste the URLs somewhere and be confident I can reach them in the future.

I don't think CUK is going away anytime soon.

I found a neat Chrome "Save to Google Drive" option but it seems pretty tulip. You can choose between PNG, HTML, MHT but if you save as MHT you can't actually view it because Drive can't display MHT, you have to download a local copy. And if you save as HTML you can only view the HTML source not the page, which makes the tool pretty pointless.

Evernote Web Clipper?

It seems this is exactly what bo.lt did, but I can't access it and assume it disappeared?

I think springpad might do it, it has a sort of web clipping feature. One note could be used as well I suppose.

I'm pretty sure Evernote can do this (though I haven't used it recently).
