Go ahead and get it. If it has your interest then go get it.
Take the chance. Columbus did right? See where that got him? Of course he's dead now but that's beside the point huh? You've still here "exploring" yes?

Delay is one or more repeats at regular intervals
Echo is more or less the same thing, but tailored to sound more natural - volume diminishing and treble being lost as the repeats go on.
Reverb is a complex of many delays - probably hundreds - starting almost immediately and going on for the necessary reverberation time. There are no repeats - each echo is an individual event, and the timings following the initial delay are random. The volume, delay and length of the reverb determines whether it is simulating a small room, a cave or a cathedral. The best reverbs use a measurement from a real building. A starting pistol is fired and the decay of the sound is recorded. This recording can be used through a process called convolution to apply exactly the same reverb profile to the recording.

That's more or less the basics.

This is pretty much a description of digital versus analogue delay ... analogue delay becomes darker and quieter with repeats, digital delay can stay the same or you can use an 'analogue' setting that will simulate an analogue delay by playing the repeats with less treble and volume.

In other words, the difference between my MXR Carbon Copy and my Boss DD-7

What 'Echo' means I don't know. I do know that there are some odd effects that combine delay, reverb, and vibrato and are called 'echo' ... for example the Boss TE-2 Tera Echo
