Well I suppose you can define it from the book or from the person. Maybe easier from a persons point of view relative to reading speed since that definition works here. So you fully experience a book if any other way in how fast you read or how much you think about the book do not give you something extra.
So if you skim or skip sections you obviously do not fully experience the book according to that definition.
A definition from the books perspektive seems harder and maybe more fruitful to do it negatively by enumerate situations were you have not done it. Like you must notice all levels put into the book. But maybe you cannot do that how slowly or carefully you read since you are missing background knowledge pr some other reason. So that definition is not so good for the discussion in this thread.
