I expect this is a driver issue of some kind, or something about the linux container configuration.
I have had the same issues, trying to use Calibre on my Pixelbook. The instructions on the Calibre website didn't work as it required a "sudo" command, which asked me for a password. However, I was able to download the Gnome Software Centre and install Calibre through that. However, it won't recognise my Kindle and books I emailed just didn't appear. However, I have been able to get it to work by connecting up my Kindle via USB and in the Chrome Files app dragging a book from the Calibre library under Linux files, and dropping it onto my Kindle's documents folder.
