Here in the states, they are giving aid to businesses, anything similar going on in the UK that the publishers could use vs raising prices?

Supply and demand still applies. There is no right to read (for free). Now would be a good chance for publishers to embrace ebooks by lowering the prices. If they are actually interested, that is. They much rather wait this storm out until they can bounce back to their printing. They already made abundantly clear that they do not wish to compete on price. The more they embrace ebooks the more marketshare they will lose. If they don't, they may lose marketshare anyway.
