Hi Rob,
these companies have made easy answers to your questions:
1- reports come on the website in real time, you see them when the broker sees them or maybe minutes later
2- reports for ML and MS are in adobe acrobat, easy to download and save and read etc
3 reports from Smith Banrey are in text but going to adobe
4 you can read any report on any industry, esp on ML site
5 my favorite is ML for a zillion reasons
6 you need an account with all of them
7 ML now has a very low entry point with ML direct: it is like Schwab, plus the best research on the street
8 they are ranked the best by Institutional Investor (you can register at www.iimagazine.com, very good source, very very good

once you know you can access all 3 houses' research, to study a stock in deatil becomes a breeze (ML also gives you S&P, very complete and timely)

to open with MS and SB you may do with relatively small amt, in addition, they now offer (50k minimum for SB, I think 100K for ML, don't know about MS) a global fee account and free trades.
Let me repeat this: free trades and detailed accounting for taxes, finally with the cost basis.
Global fee is 1.5-2%. If you think opf it, it is almost better than any online broker at 20$ a trade.
More importantly, you read and learn, and usually make money,
ciao Alfredo
