Breakthrough Entrepreneurship is an awesome book for finding ideas and it gives practical advice and step-by-step instructions on how to get ideas and start a business.
$100 Startup is a great guide as well for bootstrapping your startup around an idea after validating it.
Like /u/GregoryLane said, you just have to start DOING instead of only researching, reading, dreaming, thinking, and planning. It doesn't matter what it is that you DO, but you just have to take ACTION. Even if the idea doesn't work out, you will learn more from the experience than most books can teach you. So, go from theory to application as soon as possible.

I prefer goodreads reviews as they are more inclined to write a more critical comprehensive reviews solely as readers, as opposed to amazon where there are possibilities of some reviews are written to hype the book right where its closer to the shopping cart.
Hope it helps.
You might want to check out the $100 Startup for ideas.
There are business that have been started for $100 and there are businesses that needed millions to get their product off the ground. Pick something that excites you and you want to build, then figure out the costs, where and when to bring in investors, and how to profit from it.
That's essentially what The $100 Startup is. Except not internet specific.
> I live in a small town and everything's pretty much taken.
First, this can't possibly be true. "Pretty much" is a hedging statement - there's always something to do, even if it's not full time.
Second, and I know this isn't in the spirit of this sub, but:
Start a little local gig. A one-shot $500 is easier to earn by hustling IRL than clicking online.
Seriously - get off your butt and hustle. As a seventeen-year-old, you're able-bodied and should be creative enough to do something productive.
Get out there and offer to wash store windows, remove snow (I'm sure there's lots of snow), run errands, deliver groceries for $20 to the elderly, plant gardens/mow lawns/paint fences when Spring rolls around, clean houses or offices, clean out garages/sheds, help people pack & move, buy/refinish & sell used furniture, make artisanal soaps, fix a few computers/iPhones/Smartphones (!), babysit, tutor kids, build something for someone, organize an event and keep a portion of ticket sales, teach Finnish over Skype...almost anything you can think of that people need done and don't want to do.
Use these to spark an idea:
Other ideas: what services and products do the older people in your life pay for? What skills or knowledge do you have that not everyone else does that might be useful or transferable to other work? What tasks do people in your area have to perform but hate that you could charge a few bucks and do it for them?
What pains or needs do people have that you can solve?
Just go ask business owners what you could help them with.
Sorry but Clickworker sounds like a stall tactic or excuse. Go do something and generate some value in your community.
*edit: even if you're not able to do physical labor, something above should work.
