Perhaps being in Canada has made you miss most of the last century's French literature? Have you read Jean D'Aillon? Jean-François Parot? Michel Honaker? Christian Grenier? Marie-Aude Murail? If they are not your style, I'm sure I can find something else!
French book (paperback) aren't that explensive (in France), neither are translations. Maybe they are expensive in Canada because they are shipped there instead of being published there? Books in foreign languages are often much more expensive here... For books in Chinese, I have seen 6 yuan become 13€...
I'll agree though that most French publishers are doing their best to destroy the e-book industry here. E-books used to be priced the same as hardcover books. It's getting better though, probably because there is pressure from... Amazon ^^

I studied french literature ("Literature and medias", I picked Cinema) in Cegep (College?) for two years and like I said, up to the Romantic and Symbolist eras french literature was awesome. After that not so much, like the Dadaism, Naturalism (Zola makes me falls asleep) and Surrealism, but I really love Les Chants de Maldoror by Comte de Lautréamont which is a masterpieve of surrealisme.
