I will say that you really have a very underpowered system. You are trying to make it do things it was never designed to do. Just because it costs $200 (or so) does not make it a good value.

You would be best to dump the Chromebook and buy a Windows 10 laptop. My Mom had a Windows 10 laptop that cost about $500-$600 and it worked perfectly well for her needs and it ran Calibre very well for when I used Calibre on it. My sister has it now and it still works well.

Sorry, but you did rip-yourself off with the Chromebook. There is no real resale value to those.
