I guess Chromebooks have their niche, but Calibre users are certainly not it.

I agree that Chrombooks are fairly useless for dealing with eBooks and Calibre. I think they are a waste of money because no matter what you think you'll be doing with them, you'll eventually hit a snag where you'll want to do things that won't work with a Chromebook. Just get a laptop that runs Windows and be happy that you can do things you want to do.
