I'm getting rid of my ancient nook and getting a kindle today.

I have a wide collection of ebooks that I'll be syncing to my new kindle via Calibre - none of which were purchased via Amazon - additionally, I'm a journalist working with sensitive material and therefore cannot have notes / highlights syncing to Amazon services where I can't verify their safety.
With that said, is there any way that I can manually sync my highlights in NON amazon ebooks to my computer? Are the newest devices still capable of producing the "my clippings" files I've read about? This seems like the best non-cloud option for me to sync my notes to my computer.
Again, in short... I'm just hoping to get highlighted passages of text from my kindle over to my computer so I can copy and paste them into word docs for my notes... but WITHOUT any amazon software / products.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

If you have a Fire, iOS, or Android device, the Kindle app will let you export notes from Personal Documents (content you ‘sent to kindle’).
