Pronunciation of "Reader's Digest"

I remember my English teacher told us that "digest" in "Reader's Digest" should be pronounced as /di-/, instead of /dai-/. Are there any references supporting this?

I grew up with The Reader's /Dai/gest and have never heard a rumour of another pronunciation. The dictionary gives no other pronunciation for the noun.
