So I recently got a Lenovo Chromebook duet 5 and installed Calibre using the distro install by simply doing sudo apt-get install calibre The version is out of date however at 5.14.

I tried going to the page you mentioned to get the latest version, but that's for Intel based processors, my problem is my Chromebook runs on an ARM chip. So the install won't work with the commands given.

I'm a total Linux noob, so I have no idea how to go about and get the correct version for my Chromebook that's up to date. Is there any compiled .deb package out there or something I could use to install the latest version of Calibre for my machine?
