It's not so different.

LPI tells you how closely lines can be positioned and still be distinguished from each other = resolved. If you think about it, x LPI = 2x DPI, as there has to be white between the lines if they should be resolved. 166 DPI is thus approx 83 LPI, and that's on the level of newspaper image print quality.
