I have the latest version of MS word and with that I can highlight an equation in the equation editor, select copy, and then paste it into a text editor (such as notepad). The equation will paste as MathML. I don't know if this works for older versions of Word.

The situation on Kindle is unclear. According to the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines section 9.6 (MathML Support): "Enhanced Typesetting supports MathML." That means KFX format. There is no mention of how MathML is treated in the older (MOBI/KF8) formats. I assume a fallback would be needed but there is no information on how to do that.
