Absorb is slightly more informal than others and has, perhaps, the widest range of uses. In its most restricted sense it suggests the taking in or soaking up specially of liquids: the liquid absorb by the sponge. In more general uses absorbed may imply the thoroughness of the action: not merely to read the chapter, but to absorb its meaning. Or it may stress the complete disappearance of the thing taken in within the encompassing medium: once-lovely countryside soon absorbed by urban sprawl. Ingest refers literally to the action of taking into the mouth, as food or drugs, for later absorption by the body. Figuratively, it designates any taking in and suggests the receptivity necessary for such a process: too tired to ingest even one more idea from the complicated philosophical essay she was reading. To digest is to alter food chemically in the digestive tract so that in can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In other uses, digest is like absorb in stressing thoroughness, but is even more emphatic. [You may completely absorb a stirring play in one evening, but you will be months digesting it.]
