There is still a DRM server just like Adobe. The DRM is applied, by the DRM server, when the book is downloaded (just like Adobe) and the device must be registered to an account (just like Adobe). Where the DRM differs is that Amazon DRM'd books are tied to a specific device/app install while Adobe DRM is tied to a specific account but can be used with any device on that account (unless you download an Adobe DRM'd book without an account in which case it's tied to that install of ADE).
