I use epub2 uploads to KDP, more reliable than doc or docx. The dual mobi are for Smashwords own customers mobi downloads. They only distribute the epub to libraries and other retailers.

I think though I've discovered a snag with upload of epub, dual mobi and '.doc' to Smashwords. It means no percentage sample downloads in mobi and epub.
Maybe I should offer the 20% sample downloads on our publisher's site, but they would need more infrastructure for that.
