If you are concerned about saving just notes and highlights to be able to read them from PC (for example), you can use such software as KindleMate. Either connect your Kindle and sync in KindleMate, or just open MyClippings.txt from Kindle/documents/ folder in it — and you can export every book’s annotations.

If you want them to re-appear in each book on new Kindle as on old one, this will be trickier. First you need to copy over all book files along with their respective .sdr folders (the same name plus “.sdr”, they contain all notes in Kindle formats). Then, you also need to rename the endings of each such file according to device id (or something like that). You can find it out by opening any book on your new Kindle, the new sdr folder will appear with appropriately-named files in them.
