If I wanted to jump through all these hurdles I might do what another in this thread has done and revert to hard copies but that seems to defeat the whole purpose as well!
To focus the conversation, please note that you are not reporting a shortcoming in highlighting within the Kindle apps. You are reporting a limitation in exporting large amounts of text you have highlighted in at least one Kindle book to other text applications. It is obvious that Kindle provides more digital text exporting than a paper book.

You have stated that you want to export unlimited portions of text from all Kindle books. Sirmaru has proposed that you do that from the Kindle for PC app. Have you considered this?
