There probably isn't a copyright on the HTML/CSS.
There may be a copyright on the cover.
If there is original content, such as a forward, afterword or some other word, that is copyrighted.

Exactly. I don't think there is much one can do, except for naming and shaming.
One option might be to publish the cover art under a license that doesn't allow commercial use, like
CC BY-NC SA 3.0. Then one could try and ask the store selling the book to remove it so that Kbook guy might at least be forced to come up with his own covers like all the other scam publishers...
