3. Get adobe acrobat pro if its a pdf... gives you a lot more editing capability. And blows the adobe reader out of the water which is a stripped down acrobat pro and has twice the functionality as kindle for pc for pdf's.
Also pdf is a horrible format to use on the kindle... I would convert them to .mobi or .prc you will like it much better.
I would try anything other than using that kindle for pc software which blows.

I have up and found the highlighted sections and extracted them a different way...
Absolutely agree and this is more or less what I do/use - I have Acrobat installed for something else and it's very useful for eBooks. It's way too expensive for an ordinary consumer though (older versions are probably cheaper).
However, I didn't have a PDF version of the file in question and MOBI to PDF produces ugly results.
For annotating and highlighting, Kindle for PC is better than Acrobat. There's no need to right-click and select 'highlight text', the dialog box just appears. Over the course of a two hundred pages, that's a lot of time/clicks saved.
It's a question of DRM in Kindle for PC, not of pressing the right buttons - I can open the file in another program and copy text just fine. KforPC does not allow it though.
I don't think OneNote will work (I don't like OneNote so it'll be installed on first use, which I don't intend to do) - the similar Snag-It didn't work. Again, it's DRM.
I agree about PDFs on Kindle too, although it's okay for PowerPoint slides (2 per page) now and then, especially if the margins are cropped.
