Personally I never buy chapbooks. I'd rather spend money on a full fledged short story collect. They are however good publicity tools. If I haven't read an author before and they have a chapbook, I tend to read that between panels at a convention. And if I like it I go back and buy their books.
And I find it a great thing if I don't have money left at a convention. I now have something to remember the author by.
