I think you're incorrect. The
relevant provision is the new 28B section of the copyright act, inserted after
28A, which starts
"28B Personal copies for private use
(1) The making of a copy of a work, other than a computer program, by an individual does not infringe copyright in the work [...]"
Books are not computer programs, so making a personal copy for private use is now permitted in the UK.
