When I finish a book with Moon+ Reader pro, which I have marked up with highlights and text comments, I export them all to a text file using the share function(*). I offload the resulting text file to my computer and import them into Evernote. I also copy them into an entry in my reading journal in Day One. So, multiple backups on multiple platforms, no problem, and I leave them on my Likebook Mars as well for direct reference inside the epub via Moon+. There is a way to export notes (also by the share function) so that they can be reread by Moon+ so if a book is lost then they can be replaced once the book is replaced, but I don't bother with this.
If I use Moon+ with a dictionary to translate words I don't know, I highlight the word and include the translation as a note. Once I'm done I have a vocabulary list for reference and further memorization.
*: I do this by selecting the table-of-contents view from the menu at the bottom of the page reached by a center tap. At the top of the menu that appears, you can then view "bookmarks" instead of the table-of-contents. There is then a share icon at the bottom left corner, which lets you export them as a text file, sharing to the file browser. It's circuitous, maybe, but it works, and I only need to do it once per book, unless I go back and further annotate.
