As an indie author who has to set prices, yes the price of printing books has gotten more expensive. We are also hampered by page count. The longer the book the more expensive it is to print.
I've set the prices on my physical books as low as they could go without breaking even. It sucks, really sucks. Also makes it difficult to offer coupons and discounts when you're already 1 or 2 dollars above break even.
