That's OK, you were looking and needed to ask.

If you don't have an android (I think there are emulators though) or ios to extract them (though hopefully they'll add it to a future firmware unless it exists already on newer kindles and I'm not aware) there's a .mbp extractor/reader. Basically you sync your kindle so that it has all the notes from other devices, then you plug it in, go into the documents folder and sort by file type. Select all the .mbps, copy them to your computer into a folder, then you run the extractor in that folder and get .txt files you can manipulate. Some might be blanks because bookmarks aren't exported.

I unfortunately don't know enough programming to fix the annotations plug in.

Thanks for the link. There should be enough information there to read .mbp files. Or simply port the Perl code to Python. I'm a bit surprised this was found the last time the topic came up.
