Thanks jhowell. It is a mystery to me why each book downloads from Google Drive as a zipped file to the chromebook. Perhaps it's a default since there is little storage. From Calibre, I convert to AZW3, right click, save to disk. Then I upload to Google Drive. A folder appears and upon clicking on it, three files appear, an XML, an image, and, I assume, the actual text, identified only as a binary file.

The Amazon Kindle app is on the chromebook in addition to Kindle Cloud Reader. Thank you for clarifying that the KCR can't read local files.

I will have my hands on the Kindle tomorrow and will try to copy the files from the chromebook to the reader.
