Actually this is due to the poor contrast quality eInk devices have. A gray/green background and black text is no where near as sharp as a white backgrond and black text that is found on paper books.
So under low ambient lighting it is easier on the eyes to increase the font size. When I read on my PRS-505 I find I do this often, but when I'm reading on my phone I never increase my font size.

Ok, that is certainly food for thought. However I should point out that material intended for leisurely reading should generally not use white paper, but rather a more creme colour.
Actual white paper with black text is too harsh on the eyes for prolonged reading, and is more often seen in textbooks and other similar types of books/genres. So we don't need to totally reach white, before the contrast becomes as good as it is with your average paperback novel.

Ps.: Notice where even on this page white is used and where "creme" colour is used?
