That's a good guide, however calibre within Crostini does not work nicely with external storage. Latest versions of CrOS (v 73 Dev) finally allow to bridge the gap between space used by Linux and Android. I had no problem installing software like SciTE editor, and it is able to access shares under /mnt/chromeos ... However Calibre has some permission issues with metadata.db. I can't figure out how to fix it. I tried chown and chmod commands on metadata.db, but permissions got errors like "operation is not permitted". This is probably because I am trying to use an existing Calibre library I used to create and maintain using Crouton -- an older and more stable Linux option for Chromebooks. I'll keep trying, but my hopes are not too high at this point.
