I'm in the same boat, I use Amazon's KDP for the Kindle and Smashwords for everyone else. I too have considered going to B&N directly since it's a slight increase in royalties (with Smashwords taking its cut I get 60% from affiliate sales from B&N, as opposed to 70% if I'd published with B&N directly). But mostly it's the hassle of having to learn the ins and outs of a new submission system. One of the things I like about Smashwords is that it gets my material into a bunch of stores without a lot of hassle. I agree that it is slow, however. My B&N sales reports on Smashwords are only up to date through May 31.
