I couldn't agree more, that it comes from just a lot reading. I think its a little more than spotting the 'hole' in the field, though that is a big thing, its also realizing that there might be something to fill the hole. Often a field collectively identifies a problem but subsequently loses interest because it does not have the tools and data to solve that problem, and as you read you might see that new data has been discovered, or new techniques developed which allow that problem to be addressed in a way it couldn't be, ten, twenty, thirty, years ago.

You are right about that! Realising that there is something to fill the hole with is also a crucial aspect of finding a good topic. Also, people may not realize that there is a problem until someone articulated it, essentially making it visible for everyone.
