In the ongoing quest for the perfect, small, Kindle sized bag, I ordered this bag thinking it would be the one.  As a fulltime working mom, I need a bag that is strong and durable enough to handle my home life, and presentable enough to take to work.  I also like a tiny to small bag as anything heavy is too much for my shoulders, and prefer crossbody as other bags slip off my shoulders.  An added challenge recently is to find a bag that can fit my Kindle Fire and allow me to carry it comfortably (the Fire is quite heavy).

The distressed nylon is a fantastic, durable fabric that (in black at least) looks both casual and office-worthy.  The pockets in this bag are legendary, and the zippers work beautifully.  The interior slip pocket (behind the zipper pocket) is just the right size for my Kindle in leather Roocase.  This was a key feature for me as I don't want a bag where my kindle is flopping around or where it can lay flat and make a bag uncomfortable.

The challenge with Ameribags is choosing the right size.  Since I wanted the smallest bag possible, I ordered the Extra Small, but unfortunately the length doesn't work well for me crossbody.  At 5'8" with this 15" bag, the length of it doesn't cross my back enough for a proper fit, particularly where the strap wraps at the side and across my chest.  I worked fine on my shoulder, particuarly when carried the opposite way (with the bag at the front and strap at the back), but this isn't my preference for bags.  I returned this and tried the FUL Ditty (also to be returned, see other review) and the Ameribag Distressed Nylon in Small and Large Baglett, both of which are keepers (see their reviews).

If you're thinking about a Healthy Back Bag, you can't really go wrong with Amazon and their great return policy.  If you're not going to carry it crossbody and/or are 5'4" or less, this bag might be perfect for you.
