Recent ChromeOS versions support both Debian packages and Android APKs.

Which I should choose?
When in doubt choose the Debian version. It is easier to install and to keep updated.
If you're already on developer mode and/or want to improve the android port behaviour on ChromeOS you can try the android APK. In that case please don't open new tickets on this repo issue tracker. Just edit this wiki entry and add your issue to the list of known issues. Most of them need to be handled in https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher
