Author writes book, publisher in the case of ebooks uploads to the ebookstore or ebookstores as the case may be. The ebookstore then decides the best format to send it to their buyers. The exception being Smashwords which lets the buyer decide the best format.
In the case of paperbooks, the publisher decides how to best present the book.
In both cases, the publisher has absolutely nothing to do with what the buyer chooses to do with the book afterwards.
Highlighting is not nor has it ever been the publisher's concern.

User's highlights are for the benefit of publishers. :-) Do you know why? User remembers the book better. He's talking more about the book. He shows the book to his friends. He shares highligts with his friends from internet. That is, user advertises the book. Moreover, he does it free.
