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.
Chrome OS isn't very book friendly. Lots of ebook/audiobook programs it doesn't support.
