    Yes, it does. I have used it recently. I do use this functionality (Evernote Web Clipper) for exactly what the OP wants

      Does it store locally, or somehow duplicate the selected page online?

          Onenote will by default put everything in Onedrive but you have the option to store notebooks locally as well although obviously you lose the ability to sync across devices easily when you do that.

          Edit: removed the utter bollocks I was spouting. Springpad stores a thumbnail and a bookmark, so useless for what you want.

          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            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.
            AFAIK the only way to be sure of this is to download the web page and keep it somewhere. I used to do this a lot using wget which has a windows binary available.

            I don't really bother much nowadays as the info is always old and I prefer just to browse again. Life's too short to read the entire web twice

            Hth,

              I just found this, which looks like it might do the job if you use chrome:
