Every Adobe DRMed book, even the freebies, costs the vendor $0.22. Several million books time $0.22 is a fair amount of money. If I were a retailer, I'd certainly want to avoid it.

Libraries must pay $10,000 to get set up on ACS(Adobe Content Server) and $1,500 per year plus $0.08 per book for loans. Nice racket, huh?
