It's certainly around that amount. But it does seem that Adobe no longer make that info readily available.

I did find a company that provides DRM to small ebook sellers using Adobe Content Server. Their 'enterprise' level service costs $300/month plus $0.30 per download.

This fee to Adobe is why it's worth it to Amazon to maintain their own DRM, even apart from the tie-in factors.
