Scribd, while it has been increasingly pushing its subscription service in recent years (and removing functionality such as the ability to "follow" other users and comment on posted texts), still allows documents that are not marked as premium content -- which should be the case with all CP titles -- to be read online without the need to make an account (an increasing number of documents on Scribd these days only display the first few pages as a "preview" to users without a subscription).
To actually download PDFs requires either (a) creating and signing in to a free Scribd account or (b) linking to a Google or Facebook account. I'd suggest the former.
Issuu.com, on the other hand, does not allow downloading of PDFs posted on a basic account, which is why I hardly uploaded anything there.
EDITED TO ADD: On the plus side, I haven't had to contest any false-positives from Scribd's copyright enforcement bot for nigh on two years.
