If you swap motherboards, you will then have a different Kindle. If it's blacklisted, your screwed as none of your DRMed eBooks will work. So you would not be able to download from Amazon directly. It is a risk you take. But given that it's a PW3, I would call it a loss and buy a new Kindle. get a PW3. You'll like it much better. I cannot recommend a PW4.

The problem with the PW4 is the flush screen. It causes the layers to be farther away from screen and that makes it less sharp then the PW3.
