thank you.
The Linux download page includes "sudo -v &&" at the beginning which forces the Linux terminal to verify the password. remove this and try the rest of the line. I got it installed on my Chromebook this way. Personally, I prefer using my Chromebook as a thin client and ssh into my Linux desktop where I have calibre and my libraries installed.
