Your bookmarks and highlights are synced to the cloud. You should be able to read them online on: http://read.amazon.com/notebook

From the kindle you can also export all the highlights of a book to your email. It's a lot better to read it on your email. The kindle device reader note reading experience is subpar.

Yes, but only for the books you purchase through Amazon. If you import DRM free books (or presumably re-import DRM free versions of Amazon purchases) or personal docs, the notes on those won't be saved.

And that’s a big use case. I use Kindle for most of my reading and import many other documents (papers, DRM free books I bought and such).

Tangential, but is there a way to scrape this page or an API to access it? I'd like to be able to automatically pull my highlights and haven't found an easy way.

Look into readwise. There's no API access to highlights, do they scrape it from an open tab.
