Devices: Kindle PW2 and Kindle Fire tablet. I have an Ubuntu laptop and a Mac desktop (that Calibre is installed on)

As I try to become a better reader and cut down my television time I find myself taking notes / making a lot of highlights; and I'd rather not lose them. I primarily read side loaded books so the whole online Kindle highlights doesn't work so well. I know they're in myclippings.txt but I'd love to hear about what you do to keep track of what you've read?

Options I've thought about so far:

Exporting 'notebook' to Google Drive / Dropbox
Keeping a text file with the book name and notes and using vim to edit/view
http://kmate.me/download/ ; Kindle Mate -- but i can't use it because I don't have a PC
SToring annotations in calibre per book

I primarily read non fiction so I'd love to have a way to retrieve this knowledge in an easy and straightforward way.

Thanks in advance.
