On damus 1.10 highlighting and sharing highlighted text to damus is not an option.

However, sharing an image highlight is an option on kindle. Results in an error message.

Basic copy and paste works fine. I was able to copy and paste text from Books App and post, the note adds the book and author automatically but no highlight. Kindle does the same when "text quote" is selected and adds a abbreviated link.

Ah ok, that's fine. Highlighter support for e-books would be seeing a "highlight in damus" menu option when sharing/selecting text.
