I don't think it's just a matter of paying, it's basically turning over control of their e-book business to Adobe.

Why would they want to do that? Be completely reliant on a competitor for a big part of your business? It doesn't bother Sony and Kobo because they don't really have much of an e-book business (and B&N uses their own scheme)
