Mayhap publishers see readers priced at hundred(s) pounds/dollars and they are thinking 'if they are that price the public will be willing to pay for the books to read on them....'
If you don't like the price go elsewhere - alternatively find authors/publishers selling at a price you can stomach. Other than my dictionary and another couple of reference books my price limit has been $6 (or the GBP equivalent) and I've had the opportunity to read books (good ones too) by authors who I otherwise would not have considered.
