So, I wonder why the discrepancy. Which of us is wrong?

Neither of us is wrong. If you look at Christopher Stasheff's web page and check under the books page,
A Wizard in Absentia is listed as the first book in
The Rogue Wizard series. If you check the store page and look under ebooks, it's listed as the first book in
The Warlock's Heirs series. Considering how long before many of the other books in either series,
A Wizard in Bedlam was written and that for continuity purposes, Christopher Stasheff has Magnus' hair colour changed in one of the Warlock books (
The Warlock is Missing if my memory serves), the book fits in either series -- Magnus is, after all, Rod and Gwen's oldest son and this book served as a written after the fact bridge between Magnus' as a young man on Gramayre and the character of Gar Pike in
A Wizard in Bedlam. You might want to read the 2017 introduction to the re-issue of
A Wizard in Absentia for Christopher Stasheff's take on this.

Sending a book that already exists is inefficient and inefficiency offends me.

And extrapolating the load times, I still end up far less than the 15 minutes you stated. I either have to conclude that Windows is far faster than your operating system (
) or your mass storage is on the slow side.
