Digit is an Indian monthly technology magazine published by 9.9 Media. According to the Indian Readership Survey (IRS 2011) it has a circulation of about 1,00,000 and a readership of over 2,29,000. The same survey results suggest that it is the most read technology magazine in India[1], higher than even the combined readership of its peers (e.g., Chip, PC Quest, T3, etc.). It is circulated in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and some other countries. It was started in 2001 by Jasubhai Digital Media Pvt. Ltd and acquired by 9.9 Media in 2007.[2]
Each issue of Digit includes a magazine, two dual-layer DVDs and a mini-booklet called Fast Track. Fast Track is an in-depth reference guide to any given sub-topic of information technology, such as web publishing and open source software, or a product, such as Photoshop. The detail in the Fast Track series ranges from the beginner to the intermediate and often with references to advanced content.
There are three special issues every year: Anniversary Special (June), Diwali Special (October), Collector's Edition (December), which have additional content, contests and digital media along with the regular package.
A sample issue is available on the Digit website at www.thinkdigit.com/digit_sample.[3]
Digit has recently launched Digit TV. The October 2009 issue of Digit came with one DVD of Digit TV featuring a Video Buying Guide.[4]
