I generally go for an intermediate solution and change the chapter headings from:
Chapter 1
Harry Writes a Book
to:
1. Harry Writes a Book
for the purely practical reason that the Reader's "TOC" page only displays a very limited length of text, and it seems a little pointless to "waste" that space by having the word "Chapter" there. I do want to see the chapter numbers, though - personally I consider those to be essential!
