If Amazon was already raising their prices "quite a bit" before the Apple/Big Six collusion, what was the point of the collusion? Jobs specifically said he would raise the prices of eBooks when he first announced the iPad. And this is why the Big Six and Apple were required to pay out settlements for price fixing.
