      var pos0 = data.indexOf('class="priceLarge"');

change it to:

      var pos0 = data.indexOf('class="a-size-small a-color-price"');

This is the compete script with the change.

After further testing and coffee to get this script to work edit the following lines:

      var pos0 = data.indexOf('class="priceLarge"');

change to:

      var pos0 = data.indexOf('class="a-color-price a-size-medium a-align-top"');

edit following line

      pos0 = data.indexOf('class="iou_cust"');

change to:

 pos0 = data.indexOf('id="ebooksInstantOrderUpdate" class="a-size-medium"');

Here is the entire script with changes:

      }
    }
  });
}
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
var to_check = {

for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
  var url = a[i].href;
  var parts = site_regex.exec(url);
  if (parts) {
    if (migrate_regex) {
      url = url.replace(migrate_regex, migrate_replacement);
      a[i].href = url;
    }
    for (var j = 0; j < ebook_url_regexs.length; j++) {
      if (ebook_url_regexs[j].test(parts[parts.length - 1])) {
        if (!to_check[url]) {
          to_check[url] = [

        }
        to_check[url].push(a[i]);
      }
    }
  }
}
for (var k in to_check) {
  check_price(to_check[k], k);
}

This will check the kindle price and if already owned.
