Proper usage of the verb "use"

I just want a confirmation because it sounds weird to me... Is the following sentence correct, or is there a better word than "used"?

This picture is used twice in this book.

I can't tell you why but this "used" doesn't seem to be right at all...

Solution 1:

Sounds fine to me. A picture can be used to illustrate a point, or it can be used in the sense that you take someone's work, whether a physical picture or a computer file, and use it in your work.

As to alternatives, you could say "this picture appears twice" or "this picture can be found twice", or something like that.

Solution 2:

I too feel slightly uncomfortable with "used" here. The only context in which it's valid implies it's not a typesetting mistake (which it probably is). A usage which only makes sense in some unusual context is best avoided.
