    You can sign up for a Google account on Google's website. Then when you receive the tablet and you are setting it up it will ask if you have a Google account. Enter the account name (ie the Gmail address) and password and you are set.

    Sign up here-
    https://accounts.google.com/SignUp

    The app/book/music/magazine store is called Google Play. The tablet will have an app called Play Store. You will also have a Gmail app but that is just for the email part of the Google account.

    Here's the web version of Google Play-
    https://play.google.com/store?hl=en_GB

    All very easy to do thanks a lot. Bought a google play voucher and set it up. Thought I'd bought a £10 voucher but I bought £25 by mistake! Every app I've loaded on today for her is free so that £25 will last a lifetime lol!

    You might want to install Skype on it from Play and setup an account for her. You can put Skype on your ipad too so setup both and you can free video call Gran.

    Its all ready to use straight away when she opens it on her birthday! She'll be v happy :)
