Yes, reading inferior KOLL books ahead of much better books I already own is definitely a problem for me. There are some KOLL books I want to read, but they're often pretty long and I'd rather not have to make time for them now. I've been trying to find some short story collections or novellas I can borrow - something I can read without interfering with my main book - so I don't feel like I'm wasting one of my Prime perks.
Bizarrely, though, I am quite happy to ignore the Kindle First freebies almost every month. (Partly because I know they'll always be available from the KOLL.)
