If you aren't sure what genre you're interested in, or you really don't know what is likely to sell, there are a few quick things that you can do to evaluate potential niches and then choose a topic for your book that stands a good chance at selling.
One of the ways that I evaluate potential topics is by looking what ebooks are already selling well on both Amazon and places like Barnes & Noble and SmashWords.
Check out the "Top 100" sellers in many different genres and categories, and jot down any ideas that come to mind. Make sure to also check out the "Amazon Best Sellers" as well at: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store/zgbs/digital-text
Another easy way to generate new ideas on potentially profitable topics is by browsing through the ClickBank marketplace at http://www.Clickbank.com
ClickBank is the one of the largest digital marketplaces for books relating to everything from business to specialized niche topics, and it's also a great resource for new authors when it comes to market evaluation. You can come up with a ton of ideas for your next book just by browsing categories and reviewing stats based around current sales.
You can review products that are featured within the marketplace at http://www.ClickBank.com/featured as well. This area of Clickbank provides you with a quick snapshot of current hot sellers, so you can get a good idea as to what topics are in demand.
