Recommendations on saving web pages for import into Calibre?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, hopefully it can be moved if it is.

I occasionally run across an article on a website that I would like to save and import into Calibre so I can find it more easily in the future.

Assuming the article is in .html format, is it usually easier, or more beneficial for other reasons to save it by Selecting the text and then "print to .pdf", or to copy & paste it into something like LibreOffice and save it that way before importing? Or perhaps to save it in html format or some other way?

As an indirect answer, I suggest using Obsidian Web Clipper. It converts a web page and its contents into a Markdown (.md) file that can be saved into your Obsidian vault or anywhere on your computer. Calibre handles .md files and can also convert into .epub and other formats.

I was inspired from this blog post. I also make use of the RSS Dashboard Community Plugin.
