Are you just talking about the price of printed books in brick-and-mortar bookshops or including how much the paperback costs online at Amazon?
Maintaining a brick and mortar shop is increasingly difficult -- even Borders couldn't last. Amazon is probably one of the main reasons for that, and I'm not just talking Kindle, I'm talking about their ability to undercut prices on everything. So it might be that shops HAVE to charge more because otherwise they won't break even.
Just one theory. Interested to hear others' thoughts...
