Hi, new member ode here

I'm considering getting a Kindle. I would like to know if it is possible to extract highlighted sections from the books/articles I read? At the moment I'm keeping notes/quotes from my reading on a computer for easier searching later. It would be great if I could extract the highlighted sections and append them to a text file on my machine.

I'll be generally using PDF's (I'm willing to convert them if this makes a big difference), and whatever format recipes from Calibre are in (mobi?).

Thanks for any help you can give me.

It's great to see there is such a big friendly community here supporting reading!
