@AndrewH,

Everything you said, I am aware of. And I gave the Cliff's Notes version in this thread.

Rewriting the world in a different programming language is not a viable goal. That is why ChromeOS is still a toy outside the browser.

"But technically..."

If you want to feel insulted about people recomending Windows/Linux on the ground that no current ChromeApp fulfills their need, just imagine how insulted I feel when you: claim I am insulting you, then proceed to declare that really, ChromeOS is exactly what the OP needs, and it is merely a side point that "technically", no one has written a JS-based calibre port.

And all I said was that you'll need to get into developer mode and activate Crouton if you want to run python programs on ChromeOS.
