This thread is pretty old, but hopefully someone is still reading this :-)

I also bought myself a chromebook some months ago. I noticed I'm using the Win10 desktop less and less. Only app still used a lot on Windows is Calibre.
So I thought I'll install this in Linux on the chromebook and like a married couple we live a long and happy life.....

A married couple it is.... frustration all the way.... finally managed to install Calibre, copied the library and up to the last phase it works like a charm..... but I'm unable to view my Kobo in Calibre.
I have red that ChromeOS is supporting USB devices in Linux (beta), but it fails to pop up in Calibre. ChromeOS is seeing the KOBO, but Linux is not seeing it.

Any suggestions?
