Or, if you use send to kindle to transfer your non amazon purchases as personal documents via amazon, ( format shifting first if needed) can you then get at highlights you make to those "documents" via their cloud or via your account pages on their web site ? I think you can & it may be worth testing.

The Kindle app for iOS (and I assume Android) allows exporting highlights in pretty HTML. Caveat, there's like 10% max you can export via this method for purchased books.
Normally that 10% seems quite generous. However, when I tried exporting the exact same highlights using two different citation styles, it counted against the quota twice. That said, the method works quite nicely with Personal Documents (no export limit).
Personally, I tend to use DRM-free EPUB with Marvin for iOS for highlighting fiction. That gives me multiple export options: EPUB, HTML, PDF, CSV. There's also JSON (Marvin -> Marvin) and SQLite3 (Marvin Backup and Restore).
My technical documents are typically PDF so I just use GoodReader for those. PDF's probably the only universally supported format for annotations.
