It's up to you, really. For a while I counted all of my incoming books vs all of my outgoing books, but I've decided the last couple of years not to be bothered about freebies. It is a bit silly to download them when you're 99% certain you will never read them, but there's no harm done.
I'm not sure I've ever read a First Reads book, but I still occasionally grab them if there's something I'm vaguely interested in (and I'm on Prime, so get a freebie). And I recently picked up 5 free books from an indie fantasy sale which it's fairly unlikely I will ever get to. Whether I should count them as TBR when they're only vaguely potentially TBR is another question. They're not really any more TBR than the contents of project gutenberg or my local library.
