Thank you for your answers
There is no native to ChromeOS version of calibre. Given calibre's love for getting down and dirty with the hardware, this makes sense.

If you are into a bit of pain, you can try enabling Linux on your Chromebook (Chrome OS 69 or higher) and install the Linux flavour of calibre. There have been a couple of threads on doing this and the issues that have been run into. See the calibre download page for Linux for the command line(s) and dependencies needed to install calibre.
