Smashwords have peculiar and restrictive requirements. They reject all but the most basic formatting (even a simple table is thrown out) they restrict maximum text size to 18pt, they require a special Smashwords License Statement to be included, they have cover image requirements... download the Smashwords Style Guide for all of it.
But they DO offer to get your book on all the platforms, including iBooks (which can be tricky for an individual, and is apparently important to those who play in Apple's walled garden:-)
And their checking system can be erratic. I've known a publisher send an ePub in three times with what we THOUGHT were the required modifications, only to be continually rejected. We finally contacted Smashwords who said "our mistake, it's fine" and published it.
