If you believe that the amount of money made by the people who are involved in creating books should never change, sure. But I don't see why that should be, even if the factors FBone cites were not in play, which they are.
The internet makes it easy to locate a used copy of most titles, so I am now unlikely to buy new. This makes new more of a luxury item than it used to be.
No matter what the price rise, rest assured that publishers will make tiny profits compared to successful tech companies.
