So again, I have to say that the inability to compile highlights is a real drawback for anyone who does not use the Kindle Fire for fiction reading, but primarily for research purposes. Surely to goodness there is a solution to this issue???

I've read dozens of Amazon eBooks and never encountered any limits to notes and highlights. Naturally, if you want to copy the entire eBook, that would be a copyright violation. I doubt if anyone has ever seen limits other than that one. The only eBooks I read are all between 600 and 1,000 pages and are all history and biography. I rarely read fiction.
I do my copy and pasting on my PC via that internet site. I only use the Kindle Fire to read the ebooks and use lots of highlights. I use Word on my PC. I have not found any useable copy and paste feature within the Kindle Fire android apps.
Special publisher limitations can be found on the ebook page at Amazon. I've never read an ebook with any stated limitations. Even if there were limitations, one could copy all one's notes and highlights on one's PC to Word and then, even if lost, they would still be resident in Word. Mass copying and pasting on a PC is very easy.
Those highlights and notes are fed from my Kindle Keyboard and my Kindle Fire and are synced between that internet site and the other two devices.
If you want the entire eBook open for copying and pasting, open it in Kindle 4 PC on your PC. You can then copy and paste from everywhere without using the Amazon Internet Highlight Site. Then you have no limits whatsoever. When you copy and paste using that method, the reference note to the page and book are also copied with the text. That makes it ideal for research papers.
