We are talking about paper books here since the ebook side is agency, right? I was under the impression that paper books always costs the same to the retailer and the different prices come out of the retailers cut. This is certainly true at the same time. Maybe the price that the publisher charges for a certain type of book (e.g. hard cover) go down over time?
