I am sure Amazon could get a discount, given the fact that they are the biggest sellers. Besides, perhaps the DRM fee is paid by the publisher? That would make sense if DRM is demanded by publishers.
And if Amazon believed that switching to ADE would help them sell a lot more books, they would jump ship in a flash. But they like the situation just the way it is.
