As an experiment I installed calibre on my Chromebook with no issues. Initially I installed from the tepository by a simple sudo apt-get install calibre. That installed a version 3 from the repository.

I then uninstalled it and installed the Linux version from the official web site. Had one error during the install and had to install one library (again via apt-get; I think it was libnss.so). That has given my a fully installed calibre with the caveat that due to some usb issues I can't connect a usb based reader and have it recognized by calibre.
