I use the FilesPro viewing app on my iPad and iPod Touch to store and read all sorts of documents - Word, text, PDF, JPG, spreadsheets, topo maps. It's handled everything I've asked of it.
Put your docs onto your PC (or insert the CD into the PC so you can see it as another hard drive), then open iTunes with your iPad plugged in. On the Apps page of the iTunes-iPad synch screens, the bottom of the page shows the apps you can move items into. Choose FilesPro, Add (by browsing your PC's files through the Add button on the iTunes screen), and the files go onto your iPad when you click Apply.
Practice with the free version of the Files app and a couple of documents to see if you like the setup before you buy the FilesPro version or add a whole bunch of files.
This sounds more complicated than it is. Try it. Use the help screens (link on the app's page in iTunes).
As others have said, there are many other ways to do this.
