If your books are not side-loaded (either purchased from Amazon or a Send To Kindle ‘personal document’), and you enable sync (default), then the highlights are in the cloud. You can use any of the Kindle apps (Fire, iOS, Android) to export them. For purchased books, there’s a website where you can view them and do copy/paste etc.

Newer Kindles will export notes and highlights directly (but only for purchased books).

There is also ‘my clippings.txt’, and tools that will extract stuff from there.

And I think there is way tool that could get the annotations from sidecar files for the older format. I don’t know the current status of it.
