Read what The Register says about the Google Nexus 7 - Mk 2 - 2013:-
Quote:Probably the best tablet in the world
available at about £159 for the 8GB version and £199 for the 16GB
Use Google for other reviews - I really can't see why one would buy anything else - I know it's 7" but the display is excellent.

I suggest you Google "Google Nexus 7 2013" - make sure you are getting the Mk 2 2013 version.
Prices vary I suggest you try Amazon, Tesco & Google Play.
Good luck.

....Done lots of surfing and I see that the 32Gb version is around + £40 over the 16 version [All are advertized as the 2013 version - thanks for that tip too ...
As a newbie in this area .... - what advantages would I get with the 32 as against the 16, please....
I don't use my present Toshiba lap top [Vista] for games - nor do I want that facility. Would like to watch videos / play music, lots of eMail, searching for information of all sorts and MSWord
.....Kind regards......

MSWord is not, so far as I am aware, available on Android devices.
There are however plenty of FREE apps. which perform a similar function and which can read & write MS Word files such as:-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng
I suggest you read this article:-
http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57579112...-here-now/
MS are bringing our an Android version, BUT for 'phones only in the first instance:-
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/31/m...81811.html
Frankly I wouldn't waste money on MS office programs, whether to run on a PC, 'phone or tablet - but I accept that some other prefer to pay for this type of software.

I should have added that, IMHO, you should go for the 32Gb version, particularly as there is no card slot for external memory.

I have One more 'life' of the three which came with the original 'Academic' version of MS Word + XL + ... So will use that up.
.... Also for the info re: 16Gb V 32Gb... not having a handy G'child, such things can be hard to ascertain.
...For the links too, T B Read after construction of Engineering Workshop finishes for the day.
Those ppl who say that they get bored in their retirement ..... .... ... and end up with nothing else to do but sort shoes, books and clothes at ''Help the OxChild Rsch Fund' ...
Kind regards
