It was two things:
1) they offered no support for obtaining devices. It was up to me to purchase devices with differing levels of android OS, differing screens, etc. I was unable to justify spending my own money and my own time to help them, when in the end my only interest was the challenge of it. I am happy with my PRS-300.
2) After the first email exchange, no messages were answered. That, along with the lack of support told me that (at the time) the project was unimportant to them. If they didn't care, it was hard for me to care.
Note that I am not casting aspersions upon Aldiko. They have their own priorities, and it makes sense that they pay attention to them.
Aldiko does (did) use a database, and at the time it didn't seem outrageous to build a close integration. My plans were to do at least as well as we do with the sony. I still believe that it could be a very sweet pairing, but I have no idea what has happened in the last year. It could be good, or it could be not particularly useful.
