For me a lot of the slow down has to do with how transparent it has made the publisher price model. I can buy a new book today for $15.00, wait a year and get it for $10, or wait longer and maybe get it for $5, if I haven't gotten it out of the library by then. Publishers want to tax me for my impatience, and I'm not going to fall for it.

The same thing is trashing the indie video game market on PC. Why buy a full-price game (unless you absolutely must have it now), when you can keep your ears open and snag it for pennies on a Humble Bundle deal, or at 10-25% on a Steam sale?
