Personally, when I am read a book with errors, I do what you are doing. I mark them and then when I am at the PC, I use the annotations list to view them so that I can fix them.
But, to export the annotations, as well as the above option, there are some other ways.
If you are a calibre user, there is "Fetch annotations" (or something like that) on the device menu. This appends the annotations to the comments field of the metadata in the calibre library. It shows the highlighted text plus the annotation.
Again for calibre users, there is the Annotation plugin. Like the built-in calibre function, this fetches the annotations, but it can put them into a custom column. It is also handles them better if you use multiple devices or change them in the calibre library. Currently, this doesn't support the Kobo devices, but I have an updated for it that works very well. It is ready to go, I just need to organise things with the Annotations plugin author. I can supply it to you if you would like to test it.
There are also some apps or scripts to extract the info that have been posted here. I don't know if any are maintained but there hasn't been a change in how annotations are stored on the device for a long time.
Lastly, if the epub is on the main memory of the device, there is a file with the annotations in it. This is produced by the Adobe RMSDK side of the reader. It is in the directory "Digital Editions/Annotations". The rest of the path matches the path to the epub and the file has the extension "annot". This is an XML file that can easily be read to see the annotations. And with a little care, can be copied to the PC to use with ADE.
And with mention of the annotations file, I should mention a bug in the annotation handling. If the book is on the main memory, when the book is reopened, the annotations file is reread. This replaces the annotations in the database. Unfortunately, when that happens, it messes some things up. The annotations are correctly displayed in the books, but, the position in the annotation list is wrong. They should be grouped under the chapters they are in with the percentage through the book shown, but they will all be grouped under the chapter you are reading when you reopen the book and the percent will be zero. This doesn't happen for books on the SD card.
