books are too expensive when you factor in quality. Most edition today are crap, designed to look good, but be bad. Glued pages are even in "fancy" editions. And not speaking about content.

I get that many people will probably loose their jobs, but they need to adapt rather then defend a dying industry. Paper books must remain for high end editions of classics or very high demand books (category which in time coincide with classics).

Other books should be digital first, which is the most efficient medium for discovering new books by new authors, and cut costs by those authors who can easily self publish. Publishers should innovate in this direction, not by publishing thousand of crap books yearly (both in quality of paper etc. and content itself).
