They are a new company and were not involved in a previously failed campaign. You can read their full history and how they got to making the device by reading the Harvard Business case study on them (the fact that Harvard actually conducted a study on them already gives them a lot of credibility I must say - they don't pick random startups) - recommended reading for everyone here. Unfortunately you have to pay for it:

I agree with you about the size - the reMarkable's 10.3 size might be too small for (some) pdfs, unless you smartly crop the margins. That's my main concern with the device. But it may outweigh the fact that the reMarkable has cloud integration and Sony's DPT RP1 doesn't.
The reMarkable's latest prototype handwriting latency is at 60-70ms now, as fast if not faster than the DPT-RP1 (and this has been confirmed by reviewers from the BBC, The Verge and so on):
