I tried to do that on my Dell netbook, only to discover it was an SSD drive. It runs XP, but I plan to keep using it, now that I hooked a big monitor to it. I think I'll plug a hard drive back into it and maybe do my Calibre library there.
The Chromebook I have has 250gb hard drive, but I can't run Calibre on it, so I only use it to go on the web if someone else is using my desktop. And it won't run some sites (games) my kids like, which require MS Silverlight. So it sits there unused, a lot.
