Click on icon Computer on desktop (in Mint Katya) or open file browser other way (on Lisa)
On left side of file browser you have listed media called Places.
By double-clicking on the disk you mount it.
You can also mount disk by installing gparted, and many other ways, as described in countless Ubuntu and Mint Linux howtos.
I personally would use fat32 filesystem instead of ntfs. But I might be a bit too conservative. Ntfs seems to be working OK lately.
Oh. One more thing.
Make a backup of your library regularly if you play with fire this way.
I myself am dual-booting between Mint Katya and Lisa (and other systems, such as FreeBSD, but I do not use Calibre on those). I have one common partition that I mount as /home/ on all Linux distributions. I use one distro - in this case Katya until I tune another (Lisa) to my taste, then I move work files between directories /home/katya and /home/lisa, and make space for transition to LM13 by deleting Katya system partition. All you need is the same uid for default user (which is automatic in Mint Linux)
