That's the ideal, and why most people will have at least one free title, but something else to think about is that the vast majority of the free books downloaded will never be read. If it's free and even looks vaguely interesting it will be downloaded along with lots of others. That's the main reason why KDP Select is a waste of time. People already have more free books than they can ever read in a lifetime. That and free purchases don't count as a sale any more when it comes to rankings.
