I figured it was probably something like that. I had a similar issue with several other Android apps (Bookari was one, don't remember which others now) and decreasing pixel size to have images at no wider than 1500 px and no taller than 2200 px solved it.
But, given that I have a 300dpi 10" tablet, I really wasn't interested in decreasing size further just for Aldiko. They need to move into the future as far as I'm concerned. I like clear, sharp images.
The above 1500x2200 pixel limit is not quite enough to be top quality on my tablet for a full page image, I can notice it, but it's relatively negligible. But a max of 1000 px could definitely look degraded. What the actual Aldiko limit is, I don't know, I did try going a little smaller, but had no luck.
What bothers me about Aldiko in particular is that if you have a book where, say, there's an author page and a nice resolution image is included and set to a percentage of the screen width, Aldiko will not only not show the picture, but won't show the page text either! That is something I've not seen in any other app, and it's disturbing!
I've written off Aldiko for myself as an Android reader.
