Some literary novels (and novellas) - and based upon the author's use of narrative technique and how she or he views a novel's construction - do away with chapters altogether. ('m thinking of Thomas Bernhard.)

I might add that I thoroughly enjoy Kobo's reading tool that allows one to gauge the length of a chapter as a visual when engaging in a novel.
