It seems that Kobo ereaders not having an issue with artificially introduced limits on the number of highlights and/or annotations is not to be mentioned because you will only accept an answer that will keep you in comfort of Amazon's walled garden.
You've just perfectly highlighted what I'm talking about. I said…

This is hardly 'bringing Kobo into the discussion'. I was merely highlighting that I need a solution that works with Kindle as I won't be using other readers. No one latched onto the the fact that I said I didn't want the distraction of Android. The Kobo reactions come across as very cultish. Either cultish or corporate, I can't decide which.

I have no problems, FYI, living with the results of this discussion. I just think the cult of Kobo has a problem with criticism. I really am wondering now if this isn't some form of paid advertising.

You are right about one thing, though, Kobos don't have artificially introduced limits on the number of highlights. And yet, rather than use a Kobo, I've chosen simply to manually move over annotations into Calibre after ever reading session. I would rather do the extra work than deal with a the likes of Kobo.
