I would like to start using azw3 for my conversions, the conversion seems to be more accurate - except for this problem with the smaller number of lines.
Is there any explanation and more important: is there any setting in Calibre or Kindle which would give me 29 lines I prefer?

There are many things that affect hat you see with AZW3, at least ther is on the K4NT.
First of all there is the Kindle setting to use/ignore the 'Publishers Stylesheet. Mobi did not even have a stylesheet. to ignore
The default is ignore use K internals)
then, in no particular order, things, if used that
could affect your view
If you are using the 'Publishers styles', In the books stylesheet:
line-height
font-size
padding-top
padding-bottom
margin-top
margin-bottom
font-family (@font choice) because of the fonts metrics
Your Kindle has settings (and defaults) that override or supplement the stylesheet. (I actually hand edit a file on my k4 to reduce the minimum value to one BELOW what the K4 uses to base the Right+Left margins.)
IMHO
Use Calibre-editor to see what values are used in the AZW3 to see which of the items above are in use in your book (if not set in your book, the K3's AZW3 style defaults may be coming into play)
