I'd bet the one on Amazon sells more, but sales directed from Mobileread probably shouldn't be sneezed at. Both of your reasons seem sound to me and aren't contradictory.

Sometimes I post the same review in both places, sometimes with minor changes, but that feels like cheating.

Why does that feel like cheating? Unless you're posting the review for some form of compensation (making it a work for hire), I can't think of a good reason to only post your review in one place. Some websites expect reviews to be unique to their site, but my understanding is that's to avoid authors or their agents spamming around good reviews for their own books.
