I've been contemplating doing this myself...

I haven't tried it yet, and this might be so simple I'm overlooking something, but when I plug in my Nook Color, Calibre sees it as such, and thus Send to Device wants to send my books to /Media/My Files/Books.

I can't tell (that I know of) Aldiko to look there for books. I took a look at Moon+, but didn't see a way to tell it "I keep my books in ...". Most of the Android reader apps seem to expect books to be in /sdcard/somefolder, or expect you to use the app itself to download/import books.

I know there are many ways to deal with this, using a file explorer to move the files, etc. But I like things to "just work", I kinda hate kludgy solutions

I've stuck with the B&N library for now because I just send to device/remove from device, and it just works. But, like many, I find the Library nearly useless for sideloaded books. I don't like how B&N treats my content like it's inferior, but otherwise like their readers (I have 2 nooks and a color in the house now).

I'd like to use another app, I just haven't had the time to investigate which one and how to make it plug and play with Calibre.
