Save for later reading
Might not be ideal, but you can save the webpage to a pdf which you can read anytime:


  Menu > Print > PDF > Save


Now you can read your articles anytime, if you have a PDF reader installed.
The problem with this off course is that the page won't open in Chrome and that the way the page is displayed could depend on your choice of PDF reader. I use Adobe Reader, and it keeps any links intact.
