I have an Asus Chromebook which uses an Intel microprocessor and it can run Linux. The Linux runs in a "container" which, as I understand it is a sandboxed enviroment alongside the normal OS. I can run Calibre with plugins, i can import ebooks as files and convert them and export them as files.
However you can't connect to the outside world using USB so you can't load ebooks on ereaders directly from Calibre. You can obviously load ebooks on a Kindle using the Send to Kindle website from the Chromebook OS.
I'm sure I read that the Chromebook has to have an Intel microprocessor to do this.
