Kindle Select also requires exclusivity, which means I would not be able to sell from my own site either. I might be able to loev with that, but I am also publishing with a Creative Commons (by-sa-nc) License, which I think would also disqualify on exclusivity.

Not necessarily. So far ePub format has worked in every web based and cell phone free reader I've tried.

My reason for not using Smashwords was that Smashwords will only pay writers through PayPal. I don't use PayPal. And now there is the censorship issue as well.
