My Smashwords titles seem to be downloaded mostly at Smashwords and Apple -- about 50/50 over the long haul -- with both still going strong. I had some downloads at Barnes & Noble last year and they were a substantial fraction of my downloads before that, but none this year -- I suspect that reflects their overall tailspin.

I had a couple of downloads at Kobo a few years ago but none this year or last year. Personally, I find myself using Kobo much less often than I used to, and I suspect others are in the same boat.

You can get a pretty detailed report at Smashwords by going to the Dashboard, selecting the Sales and Payment report, and getting a Quarterly Report or the current year's Sales and Payment report -- both are best viewed in a spreadsheet.

EDIT: I've never actually looked for Page Views from other vendors, but I doubt that information gets reported to Smashwords.
