The publishers will license a DRM scheme (like the one Adobe uses to secure ePub) and there will be a cost. They may also contract for server space and bandwidth instead of building their own in-house capability.
Amazon, however, don't have to license anything; they own their DRM system outright, through having bought Mobipocket. Using DRM probably doesn't increase their costs.
