My view is simply that a publisher can charge whatever they wish for a book, and that customers will vote with their wallet as to whether or not that price is reasonable. A sensible publisher will try to pitch books at the price point which maximises their profit - not so high that nobody will buy it, and not so low that people would have been willing to pay more for it.
Geographical restrictions are necessary, like it or not, because economic conditions are different in different parts of the world. Books aimed at the Indian market, to take one example, will generally be cheaper than books aimed at the US or British market, because people in India have, on average, much lower salaries than people in the US or UK do.
