Amazon also most certainly does not sync highlights for sideloaded books, just like kobo.
1. Kobo is very unreliable in that regard, even for Kobo books...
2. Amazon does allow syncing for cloud-loaded books (and that includes mobi versions of any book you like)

Don’t get me wrong, I use an H2O myself which is fine for me most of the time and is generally better designed to work as a standalone device (you can browse full quotes of annotations instead of just first lines) and does so well in my case, but I sometimes wish that one of the two companies would take a page out of the other company’s book and improve their cloud services and general software reliability (Kobo) or add some tweaks to their software that makes standalone use of annotations better and offer a larger screen size reader (Amazon) so I could settle for one of the two devices and have everything in one place...
