I've been following a thread on ChromeOS about this here, and it just got an update from a dev stating "This should be fixable by the app developers to use the removable storage API as mentioned in comment #54." I've had success with some apps that do have read/write access to the SD card, and others that don't.

The problem with the setup the way you've outlined it is the books aren't pointed to the right path, and when I try to change it, I select the folder that contains all of the books and Calibre Companion doesn't actually change the path. It just sits there with the same path from my phone. Calibre Companion can see the folder with no problem, but it doesn't switch to it.

I also rely on the connection to my computer to make sure books are marked as read properly (Goodreads obsession) and I use a few custom columns to organize everything. With local only mode, those custom columns can't be used

This was a long shot request, so I'll just stick to my phone for books. Thank you for making the phone experience awesome I appreciate your reply, too.

Edited to add: the link you provided involves modifying my Chromebook, and I need it to be 100% reliable for school - I can't modify it or I risk missing assignments because it won't work while I'm away from home.
