so what are the acutal sizes  of pocket vs digest ?

I dont think that this is standard publisher talk - is it?

Digest is called that because READERS DIGEST was the most common magazine 
using the format,  Pocket books were  originally called that, because CAPTN 
BILLYS WHIZ BANG was small enough to put in a (coat) pocket --- it is however 
the same size as what we know call digest.   
    the comic "POCKET COMICS" from the 1940s is bigger than an Archie Digest
  Archie Digests are smaller than the old style USA  Magna books, 6 x9,  but 
are bigger than the Dark Horse  Lone Wolf and Astro Boy  4 1/2 x 7.
