I am of the opinion that chapters can be whatever is needed for the story. I do find that chapters that run past 25 pages tend to feel cumbersome regardless of the events in the chapter. I think a lot of books aim for 15-20 page chapters. But if a major event that moves the plot forward needs one page, then give it one page and move to the next event and give it what is needed. I think computer books require shorter chapters because of scroling and people get tired of being tethered to their computer.
