I do my work in Scrivener (which I think I got for $25 with a NaNo coupon) which has ePUB as an output. I use Sigil (free) to tweak the final version until I'm happy with it -- then I upload that ePUB to B&N and GoodReads. (Prior to Scrivener, I wrote in Sigil directly.)

I use Calibre (free) to convert the ePUB to mobi -- that goes up on Amazon.

The Smashwords conversion is a dead-end as far as I'm concerned -- I personally do not like the Meatgrinder conversion process.
