I second the fact that you should look at Draft2Digital. Many indie authors have switched from Smashwords to D2D for third party distribution, myself included.
The following is what convinced me to make that switch:
- no meatgrinder
- you don't have to wait for your books to be approved for premium distribution before they're distributed to 3rd party sites
- fast distribution to 3rd party sites
- monthly payments
- up-to-date sales numbers
- excellent customer service
- you have to opt in to new distribution channels (with Smashwords, they opt you in automatically and you have to opt out if you don't want your books distributed to that channel.)
