First of all, I really suggest you read those books. Getting the 
examples from LDD3 to work on current kernels is sometimes an exercise 
itself. This should give you some hands-on experience at least.

And if, by then, you still need some ideas, have a looksy here:

http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelProjects
http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors/Todo

Something in there might catch your eye. Or you might start helping 
fixing bugs...

Have Fun!
