You can learn a bit more about Adobe Content Server (the software retailers licence to manage their Adobe DRM'd sales)...

These are old numbers and I wouldn't be surprised if they've gone up, but ACS was about $6,500 for the initial license and around $1,500 a year in "service" fees, and then there is a per book fee as well, for a permanent license like you'd have with a retail sale it's around $0.22-$0.25 per book sale, for loans like through a public library the fee is reduced to around $0.08 per temporary license.
