On the Kindle any text you highlight or pages (or articles) you "clip" are stored in the "MyClippings.txt" file, together with any notes you add to the ebook. This is one big file for all ebooks. The publisher can limit this capability using EXTH record type 401 ClippingLimit, see "Exceeded" Allowable Clippings for a Book. This is similar in concept to the limit on the number of pages that can be printed from some Adobe ebooks. The bad part is that it also applies to highlighted text. It is good that the highlights appear in MyClippings.txt but bad that they count as clippings.

The limit applies to DRM-free Kindle ebooks as well, the complete DRM-free AZWs I looked at all had a limit of 100 but the ClippingLimit is set to zero in samples.
