Is the screen on the DM250 transreflective (i.e., does it work with the backlight completely off)?

No. I read somewhere on the Internet that it would be transreflective, but it is not. You cannot turn off the backlight completely. HOWEVER it has ten levels of brightness and I used it outside on a sunny day with the brightness turned up to 10 and it was perfectly readable in direct sunlight.

I am trying to find out if it is possible to sync text files TO the Japanese version of Pomera DM250 via Wifi. Also, how to get English spell check running on the device.
The (Japanese) manual describes the process to send files FROM the Pomera to an email, but I have not been able to find anyway that explains how to get files TO the Pomera.
I have already confirmed it is possible to “sync” files both ways by taking out the SD card and using a SD reader on my computer. But I was wanting a way to have syncing via Wifi BOTH ways.
Any clues?
Also, the Japanese version of the Pomera DM250 does not have spell check like the US version has.
According a blog post by novelist Spencer Spalding “... (the) device has autocorrect and spell check, but it lacks an English dictionary, which I need to use these features. I’ve been trying to figure out how to add my own dictionary, but I haven’t succeeded yet”. (https://www.sfwordsmith.com/pomera-dm250-a-distraction-free-writing-device/)
I am trying to find out the exact same thing. Any clues here too?
