Also it would be cool to have an option to download annotations, even if the book is no longer on the Kindle.
For the Kindle, the plugin is reading the "My Clippings.txt" file. It tries to match the titles and authors in the file to those on the device. The way the file is written means that there can be entries for books that are no longer on the device. The plugin tries to match the titles and authors to the books on the device and ignores any that don't match. I'm not sure if changing that is a good idea. There is already some complication in doing the match that I'm not sure I want to extend it. And always a problem is that I don't have a Kindle to do any testing, so I am reliant on others.

You can copy the "My Clippings.txt" file yourself and get the annotations from it. It is a fairly simple file to read. And I feel I've seen mention of scripts or sites that will process it for you.
