I would start with the locals in your area....find something that they want or will pay for that you can get your hands on at a very good price. If you are 16yo, what would other 16yo be willing to give you money for that you might be able to get your hands on? The ebay and amazon scene is flooded because the idea is...."I can make a lot of money and never get off my butt, never talk to people face to face, never have to break a sweat."
As far as reading vs starting business.......look at it from a weightlifter point of view. You can read about weightlifting until your brain melts, but all that reading will NEVER make your muscles grow, it will only teach you what other people have done to get better results. If you want to see results, you have to start lifting weights.....even if you arent the best at it, or arent a very efficient weightlifter. Lifting the weights will usually produce more results than just reading about lifting weights.
