I got so disappointed with lack of annotations export that I placed Kobo back in the box. I heavily rely on highlighting text from books and exporting it for notes/references. Kindle makes it easy to do but Kobo firmware frustrated me.
Apart from the exact version, the firmware across the current Kobo e-ink ereaders is the same. From the point of view of calibre, they are identical. The driver and plugins provide the same function to all of them.

I had to manually add this section to the config file

/Volumes/KOBOeReader/.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf
The "ExportHighlights=true" works but I've never liked the generated file. There are other methods to achieve similar things. I have listed them all in posts previously, a search should find it.
