To be honest with you, just about all of the e-readers these days do the things you are asking about. I have read rave reviews about the dictionary, highlighting, and note taking function on the new Sony's. The touchscreen is suppose to work really well for those features. I have no idea how easy it is to export notes from the Sony and everyone seems to be in agreement that Sony has one of the worst bookstores.

The Kindle can be used for taking notes and highlighting. I do think that they are seperate processes. I have only used the highlight feature so I am not sure if you can highlight something while taking a note. Your highlighted pages, notes, and bookmarks are saved to a website that you can print from or move the information to a word document of you want.

Goggle books should be usable on the Kindle. If they are in EPub you would have to convert them but that is easy enough with Calibre. Amazon has the largest available bookstore. The Kindle is lightweight and has plenty of connectivity.

If I were you I would go to Best Buy and compare the Sony and Kindle. They are the two readers that most folks mention for highlighting and note taking.
