Yes, I'd read it as saying that only "first generation" copies can be made.

It's also interesting to note that is specifically excludes "entire books" and "digital copies of digital sources". That would suggest that it's legal to (for example) record from the radio, but it's not legal to copy a CD, which is a digital source.
