Totally disagree.
There's no reason for the drop rate of secret mastery books to be higher than the drop rate today. If, say, Blue Kents drop a book once in 100k kills now, they will continue to do so. Only difference is, no BM in their right mind would go kill 100k Kents knowing that even if a book drops, it's 99.5% probabilty that it won't be SE20.
Monsters people actually train on, the ones in Haunted House, Singapore, and LHC, do not drop any books today and will therefore not drop Secret Mastery Books in the future (or so I have read). Some people spend a few levels at Captains or DGPS, but that's hardly enough to supply everyone's book needs.
Farming for your own books will become impossible. The only books in FM will be those farmed by botters.
As for prices, the supply might be the same for all, but the demand is very different. Every bandwagonned pally wants Blast 20, but nobody wants Monster Magnet 20. Good luck insisting on buying the first for the price of the second.
In short, unless the drop rate increases a lot, and the books drop from all mobs, getting all your skills is going to be a lot more frustrating and expensive than it is today.
