Remember even if it was compiled there is still the major limitation of the USB implementation in ChromeOS's Linux subsystem lacking what is needed for device detection

I installed Calibre on my Chromebook and wondered why my Kobo won't be recognized by Calibre while it is detected by ChromeOS. Is there no way to install the right drivers for linux?

If you share the Kobo with the Linux system (I've forgotten how it's done, but it's probably from the Chrome file explorer), you could use calibre to mount a folder as a device (sorry; I know that's not quite the right terminology but am not at a PC right now). This will allow you do add books etc, but you won't be able to use any of the Kobo specific calibre features. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk |
