I was willing to accept that some events in earlier novels would be only vaguely alluded to (if at all) in 'later' novels that were written first. Overall, I'm very happy that I've been reading them according to the internal chronology.

I prefer to read in published order, too. An excellent example is the "Narnia" series. If you read the first book chronologically, "The Magician's Nephew", first, all the interest in the discovery of what Narnia is that forms the core of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is lost.
