The highlights and notes are the sum total of what I wanted to remember about the books.
Amazon stores highlights and notes here:

I'm not sure if that site is only for American residents or all Amazon customers. |
I can see the site, but there isn't anything there.

Your Highlights
You do not have any Kindle books associated with this account.

That's quite correct: I don't have any books on the Kindle that were directly downloaded from Amazon, and WIFI is off. If I had downloaded books on the reader, directly from Amazon, AND would have had WIFI on AND would actually have made annotations, I expect that it'd work. Why wouldn't it?

Its too bad Sony, Adobe and Microsoft never had sites like that to the best of my knowledge; but, even if they did, had I forgotten my ID for Adobe and Microsoft, I would have not been able to access them anyway.

At the time MS and Sony got into e-readers, WIFI on the device was great luxury. My first reader cost around €400, and basically all it could do was set the font and display a book. (I was actually fine with that
)
Adobe does not sell its own e-books AFAIK. They just maintain/oversee the EPUB format and sell the DRM-scheme for it; all the rest is up to the booksellers.
