If they were named in a recognizable way, it would be possible to simply find a compatible reader of the file type in question and export the material manually (by-passing the limitations imposed on the website - which, by the way, should only be a concern if I have my notes/highlights set to "public").
My K3 (KK) has a text file called "My Clippings" containing highlights/notes in a readable form. I can't find this file in the KF. As you said, all the information seems to be contained in an MBP file.

Apparently, there is a Perl script to extract notes from the MBP file, if you can discover what that is.
