Thanks for the responses.

For Kindle books, I can now get all of my Personal Docs to sync highlights across the devices (not on kindle.amazon.com and not on Kindle Mac). Support did something (didn't say what) and now everything syncs as intended.

This is fine for reading, but not for studying of compiling snippets for research papers or personal notes. If Apple had an eInk reader (which they will never do), I could get everything I want: device syncing with desktop access (for putting into Evernote).

At this point it might be best to just use the clippings.txt from my PW once I am done reading. That's assuming I can get the highlights from this file on my Mac when my PW is plugged in. /runs to try this out.
