Kindle 3, replace screen

As some of you might know, I recently received a Kindle 3 with a broken screen to experiment on. Today popping it open I found out it is a 3g kindle, while mine is just wifi. So I thought, why not swapping the screens?
Now I'm asking to you, is this a good idea? I know every screen has its own waveform, but I don't know if it's stored on the motherboard or on a chip of the screen itself. So it could be either painless or more convoluted...
Of course having the original unit where I would be taking the screen I should have also its waveform somewhere in its memory, but I don't know where it is and how to flash it on the new unit. Any advice is welcome!
