The vinegar makes the egg soft because, the vinegar has a chemical reaction due to the Carbon Dioxide in the vinegar which has an effect on the egg. That's why the egg's shell dissolves off, and the egg gets soft.
Correction:
A raw egg will NOT bounce when dropped into vinegar. The egg must sit in vinegar for about 24 hours, so that the vinegar will react with the carbon dioxide in the egg shell, before the egg will become soft and rubbery. See link below.

Why does the weight of a egg change after soaking in vinegar?
An egg swells in vinegar because of diffusion. The vinegar has seeped through the egg's membrane, which causes the egg to inflate. However, the main reason you put the egg in the vinegar is because you want to dissolve the shell. This makes diffusion easier to occur on the egg's semi-permeable membrane. When you put the egg in the vinegar for the first time, an expansion is likely due to the carbon dioxide in the shells (it's the bubbles you see). This will expand the shell as the carbon dioxide attempts to escape.
When there is a egg in vinegar will the vinegar volume go up or down?
Upon immersion, the carbonates in the egg shell will react with the acid in the vinegar in the reaction: acid + carbonate = carbon dioxide + water + salt. Thus the volume of vinegar will go down.
What is the purpose of the egg and vinegar experiment?
"The presence of the acid in vinegar, forced the egg shell to soften, because of the chemical reaction of the acid and calcium carbonate in the egg shell." I edited it a little for you.
