Aldiko is one of the very few readers that insists on being the library manager and insists on "importing" books. This has 2 consequences when working with CC.
  1. CC becomes a transport. Its library features (grouping, sorting, book details, etc) aren't used.
  2. Metadata updates in calibre such as changing tags or correcting spelling that arrive in CC via the wireless device are not seen by Aldiko. You must resend the book, and probably reimport it.
Other reader apps don't work this way. They (can) function as a reader without importing the book. Most CC users use CC as the library manager, launching their favorite reader app from CC.

Aldiko seems to support importing from a folder. See this page, and in particular paragraph 2, for instructions.
