apk files are android packages. The eink kindles do not run android (yet) and cannot install apk files. You may be able to extract SOME files from an apk, but I think that the "fast refresh thing" included a replacement linux kernel with hacked eink drivers. It is POSSIBLE that the kindle eink drivers may be able to be configured to a pure black and white mode without needing a hack though. It would need some investigative exploration and experimentation to determine that. If a replacement kernel is needed, we can already load that from the USB drive using kexec (as documented in a thread you can find in the tools index).
