Digest Size




The most famous digest sized magazine is, perhaps unsurprisingly, '' Reader's Digest '', for which the size appears to have been named. '' TV Guide '' also used the format.

Since the 1950s it has also been used by several Science Fiction magazines including:

The Manga Graphic Novel format is similar to digest size, although slightly narrower and generally thicker.

The A5 Paper Size used by many UK Fanzine s is slightly wider and taller than digest size.

This size is less popular now than it once was; in 2005 , ''TV Guide'' dropped it in favor of a larger format, and the ''Analog'' and ''Asimov's'' science fiction magazines switched to a format slightly larger than digest size several years earlier. The main publications remaining in digest size now are ''Reader's Digest'' and some '' Archie '' comics digests. '' Children's Digest '' was originally in digest size, but switched long ago to a larger format as well, though keeping the word "Digest" in its name. '' Writer's Digest '' is another publication with the word in its name that is not actually in that size.
