And I have the same gripe with it as many have with calibre it makes its own folder structure and make it harder to use other software to open the epubs you import into it.

Yes, Aldiko does use its own SQLite database. One of the major goals for my project is to directly update that database, managing collections and metadata.
My understanding is that Aldiko does scan the import subdirectory to add books to its library. This process does nothing with collections, and (as far as I can tell) gets metadata from the books. There isn't any way that I can see to get the equivalent of calibre plugboards -- to have the metadata in the DB differ from that in the book. This is another goal of my project.
As for where the books end up, I will live with what Aldiko requires.
