[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6048734, member: 6681948"] The advantages of the sorcerer are more spells per day and spontaneous selection of which spells to fill those spell slots with. The drawback is a loss of versatility. As such, sorcerers have no means of finding or buying new spells (such as enemy spellbooks, scrolls, etc.). If they could achieve wizard-like versatility by purchasing scrolls, the wizard could never compete. In fact, beyond the lowest levels, sorcerers get 2 (or more) new spells each level, so they even outpace the wizard in free spells gained. I don't know that you will find a specific cite for the fact the sorcerer cannot do this. Rather, I believe each class capable of gaining spells in this manner has discussions of how their spells are gained. The sorcerer does not, so he cannot learn spells from scrolls, for example. Wizards add spells to spellbooks, and witches to familiars. Ah, here we go... emphasis added This comes from the Magic chapter in the core rules. [/QUOTE]
