I am taking a wait and see approach.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree.
Even if the product lacks retail distribution, it is a great product and I think that retail will come later, when the company will solve its manufacturing issues (slow process).
I pre-ordered my reMarkable in November 2016 and have been using it for about a month now, very happy with the writing function which is totally amazing (no lag, no gap between the writing and the upper layer, unlike Wacom Cintiq and others) and quality of the display is... well, remarkable, compared to all other devices I own (incl. Sony DPT-S1).
Seriously, I don't care if no publisher is backing this device. I always enjoyed reading .epub books with no DRM and this device allows me to upload thousands of non-DRM .epub books I purchased and own (I am using Calibre to manage my ebooks library by the way).
"No third party reviewer"?...
I was skeptical, too, in the beginning, before receiving my device, but now, I am very happy with its performances and it was well worth the waiting. Of course, it is your right to not believe positive reviews of the products, but assuming that all reviewers are biased or paid by the reMarkable company is hurting those who show genuine appreciation of the product, like me.
