A recorder pen is different from a normal pen because on top of being used as a pen, it can also be used to record audio and video. Recorder pens are sometimes called spy pens.

I like you comment
I don't think you can. If it's a digital tape recorder, you can always transfer the file to a computer and then from the computer to the pen drive.
One of the main disadvantages is that you cannot erase a pen. Once you've written something in pen it stays there. Another one is if you press to hard the ink could go through the page onto the table or whatever you're writing on. Also, a pen can run out of ink. Unlike a pencil you can't sharpen a pen.

After going to staples website and looking through many pages of normal recorders i can conclud that staples does not sell pen audio recorders. To get a pen audio recorder one should shop elsewhere.
Its easily lost, as it is so small. It is also broken easily.
Sound quality in recording often varies greatly by brand and price bracket. Whether or not the quality of the sound is acceptable is a subjective matter that only you can answer. Amazon has several models of pen audio recorders, and the reviews will likely be helpful: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=pen+voice+recorder&x=0&y=0
