I don’t own a Kindle myself, but it seems from a bit of research I’ve done now, that there is a good chance it won’t be deleted if you upgrade, OR it is possible to backup the notes and highlights you’ve made on a Kindle book, and restore them. Note that the notes and highlights is not a Mirror Bible feature, but a Kindle feature – it is available on any Kindle book.
 
Check this article and my notes below:
 
This article also states that the highlights and notes are stored in a file on the Kindle….
Which therefore strongly suggests that they may not be deleted if you install the new version. BUT if they are … you can copy this file to another device (eg a thumb drive or pc), then download and install the new version of the Mirror Bible for Kindle, and then copy that file back to its original place/folder on the Kindle, the notes and highlights may just all be intact 🙂
It is a worth a try.
 
My suggestions:
(Preferably experiment on another Kindle device (not your own) – one that you don’t mind if you loose everything).
 
  1. Follow the steps in the first section of the article to backup the notes and highlights.
  2. Make sure they are backed up by opening the backup file and checking the contents.
  3. Then go to the second section in the article (How to Export Highlights From Kindle Storage) and follow these steps to copy the “My Clippings.txt” file to your pc/mac/thumb drive.
  4. Install the new Kindle Mirror Bible from Amazon
  5. Check if the notes and highlights are not perhaps already there 🙂 Good chance they were not removed :)!
  6. If they were removed, then copy the My Clippings.txt file back to the Kindle device from your pc/mac/thumb drive – copy it to exactly the same place as it was previously.
  7. Check again… I hope it works!
 
Sorry I can’t give more exact advice as I don’t have a Kindle myself, but as mentioned, there is a good chance nothing will be lost 🙂
